Beeches far from happy over cup exit

Thursday 6th August 2009, 2:59PM BST.

Trinity’s Dave Le Roux leaps highest, but St Peter goalkeeper Harvey Austin-Vautier holds on during their Charity Cup tie last night.

IT was 30 minutes of controversy which sent St Clement through to the quarter-finals of the Charity Cup last night after they beat Beeches Old Boys 1-0 in extra-time at the Airport pitches.

Beeches were controversially denied a goal in the first-half of extra-time while the opposition were left questioning if Saints’ goal five minutes into the second-half of extra time was off-side.

But that goal from Paul Andrews sealed what had been a hard fought match from the second-half onwards, giving Saints the win and putting them through to face Rozel Rovers in next week’s quarter-finals.

In last night’s other match, Trinity beat St Peter 3-0 thanks to goals from Dave Le Roux, Logan McGhee and an own goal from Neal Crowell who knocked a shot from Richard Parker over the line.
