                         Buidbase F A Vase First Round


             We welcomed the Salisbury-based side, Bemerton Heath

        harlequins to the Lancer Scott stadium for our first ever meeting.
        Whilst it was 0-0 over 90 minutes, I felt it was a very enthralling,
        competitive 0-0. The visitors probably had the better opportunities
        in the first half but were thwarted by a couple of good defensive
        blocks  by  Billy  Devoy.  Miles  had  our  best  chance  of  the  half,

        shooting narrowly wide from 20 yards.


        The  second-half  saw  us  come  out  much  stronger  and  within
        minutes  Tomo  had  a  header  cleared  off  the  line,  their  keeper
        produced 2 saves from Skidz and Sam Price forced an even better
        save with his 20 yard effort. Conor Hartley saw his curling shot well

        saved. Bemerton then hit the woodwork.


        With no extra time, it was straight to penalties. Bish, Tomo, Miles
        and Ginge we all successful, at 5-4, our keeper, Coomber stepped

        up but saw his effort well saved. Bemerton went into the hat for the
        second round and drew out a home tie versus Clevedon town, We
        wish them all the best in a cup run.
