Alemite
Athletic manager Peter Lucia hailed hat-trick hero Lewis
Eaglestone after the striker's three goals helped his club to
prevail in extra time of a tumultuous Essex Saturday Junior Cup
Final against Gas Recreation Reserves.
"Lewis is something special in front of goal. He scores a lot
of goals in all competitions," Lucia declared. "I didn't
feel comfortable until we scored the fifth goal, though. Even at
4-2, if they'd got a third it would've changed things. We looked
frightened during the first half, and it was a great battle.
Having looked nervous, we had to pick ourselves up, then after
they equalised at the end of 90 minutes, we had to do it all over
again."
Essex & Suffolk Border League outfit Gas had made the better
start, and Simon Smithen had already smashed a half-volley over
the crossbar from close-range by the time Daniel Daly gave them
the lead on 25 minutes. A cross from the left was hooked into the
six-yard box by Smithen and 48-year-old Daly glanced a header into
the bottom corner.
Smithen had an excellent opportunity to double the lead when Jamie
Cranfield's reverse pass sent him clear but Ronnie Yates in the
Alemite goal advanced from his goal-line to claim, and in first
half stoppage time the goalkeeper made another smart save from
Robert Thompson's shot on the turn.
If the opening 45 minutes had been dominated by Gas, then the
opposite was true of the second period. Gavin Cockman's low shot
was blocked at the near post and Steve Smith was unfortunate when
his header bounced off of the top of the crossbar as Athletic
piled on the pressure. Their persistence was rewarded mid-way
through the half when they grabbed an opportunistic leveller.
Jamie Gordon provided the cross to the back post, and Eaglestone
stabbed in gleefully.
The forward, who had helped himself to a brace in Alemite's
semi-final victory over Kelvedon Hatch Reserves, then doubled his
tally six minutes later. Cockman scurried into the penalty area
and cut the ball back for Eaglestone to neatly flick past Glen
Morrison at the near post.
The Bishop's Stortford, Stansted & District League side could
have made sure of the victory four minutes from the end when
Eaglestone prodded across the face of goal from Gordon's pass, but
instead Gas summoned up the strength for one last attack and Dale
Willoughby's precise 15-yard finish found the back of the net via
the inside of the left-hand upright.
Player-Manager Glenn Cowen saw his shot dribble wide for the
Colchester club and Paul Munn's low effort for Athletic forced
Morrison into a fingertip save, but it was Eaglestone who
eventually restored Alemite's lead. The front man struck in the
twelfth minute of extra time, beating the offside trap and
dribbling around the goalkeeper to slot into an empty net.
A lengthy period of stoppage time meant there was still time for
another goal before the interval, this time Cockman cutting in
from his right-wing position before gently chipping the ball past
Morrison and inside the far post. Unfortunately, shortly after the
break, Gas' Jamie Duffett was shown a red card for a second
cautionable offence and, later in the final quarter-of-an-hour,
James Thomas and Robert Garraty of Alemite also received their
marching orders, but not before Thomas' left-wing free-kick had
been headed past his own 'keeper by Daly for an own goal to make
it 5-2.
For boss Lucia, the occasion was extra special as he emulated his
own achievement in leading Athletic to success in the Junior Cup
in 2005: "It's a good feeling. It has been brilliant to come
back and win it, and we want to do it all over again next year!
The boys deserve it as they have got better as the competition has
gone on. It's a young squad, but it is a good squad, and hopefully
we can go on in the League and League Cup now." |
