3·-1 Win vs Sitges in the Cup

Well beating Sitges twice in 2 weeks is no mean feat for the Michael Collins. Although Sitges are a team that you can never take for granted. We arrived at Montañesa full of confidence, and started very brightly. The first 20 minutes, some wasteful finishing meant we should have been at least 2-0 up, but it seemed only a matter of time before we scored. Sitges are an odd team though, they hold you off and hold you off and grow in confidence, until all of a sudden you are on the back foot. I have to say defensively for 80 minutes they were excellent.

Near the 70 minute mark they popped up with a goal, and we didnt look like scoring one past them. We were looking forward to penalties before the unfortunate event, but they werent to be. Out of nothing came a perfectly weighted corner from Humberto, and Terry popped up at the back post to equalise with 10 to go. It was against the run of play but it served as the catalyst we needed. All of a sudden w were pushing forward again, and wanted another goal. It was a beautiful piece of play between JP and Lluis, even though it was about 5 metres offside, and JP slotted cooly past the Sitges stand in keeper. Five minutes later Lluis ran on to a through ball and took us to 3-1 against the odds. Sitges could feel hard done by as they played very well, and it took Terrys aggressive will to be forced onto the team to kickstart a poor game. Anyway, were through to round 2 of the cup for the first time in years...good stuff!!! MOM Terry a true captains performance.
