Men's Vets: 4 - Chichester Vets: 1

Sussex Cup Final

The Vets team had played Worthing 4 weeks ago and it looked as if it would be a tense final having suffered a 4-2 defeat on the previous encounter. Both teams arrived with broadly the same teams. EG came out of the traps at lightening pace and pushed Worthing back into their own half from the starting whistle. Worthing looked rattled and conceded a raft of Penalty corners, but as in the previous game, the Worthing keeper pulled off a string of impressive saves.

Finally after 15 minutes the deadlock was broken with a stunning shot from Martyn Cremin to open the scoring. This was followed by more attacking play from the EG side with Ally Roberson and Chris DeCruz making mazy runs and easily beating their defenders, for Martyn Cremin to slot in his second.

Having gone 2 down Worthing woke from their slumbers, lifting an overhead pass, in what looked to be a dangerous position, the ball being taken out of the air above shoulder height by Jon Spiers, who was duly yellow carded for his sins. Reduced to 10 men, the captain Tim Baggett reorganized the team dropping himself back into defence. Worthing sensed their opportunity and had a spell of sustained pressure to be denied with a superb stretching save from keeper Chan Patel.

EG survived at 2-0 up as the half time whistle blew. The captain rallied the troops and with the team back up to full strength, endured a spell of sustained pressure in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Worthing had reorganized and started playing much higher up the pitch.   EG lost the ball in the centre of the park for the Worthing centre forward to go one-on-one with the EG keeper. Chan left his line with speed and smothered the ball pulling off a stunning save that turned the match.   EG capitalized and from the next attack DeCruz struck from an amazing cross, sweeping the ball first time from the top of the D into the Worthing net, completely wrong footing the keeper. Worthing heads visibly dropped to be further stunned by the final goal scored by Julian Mogg.

EG at this point knew the game was won and took their eye off the ball, allowing Worthing to score a consolation goal. As the whistle went for full time the team raised their fists in jubilation, having won the Cup yet again.

Scorers: Martyn Cremin 2; Chris De Cruz; Julian Mogg
