Ibstock 2 - 1 Allexton & New Parks

Under 14s County Cup semi final. Was delighted w34thhen I got this appointment because I know both managers so hopefully some banter would go around lol :) Anyway Ibstock go 1-0 up in the 33rd minute, courtesy of an unfortunate own goal, but Allexton equalise in the 34th minute with a great header from an equally great corner. Go in at half time 1-1 and I haven't had to do anything (other than tell the Allexton manager to get off the pitch - you know the white lines? DON'T CROSS 'EM!)

In the second half the game is a bit more heated... I flag for a penalty to Ibstock for a trip; quite obviously a penalty and no one really complained. That wasn't the end of it, however, as the keeper pulls of a magnificent save to keep the score level. A few minutes after this the keeper just picks the ball up but the Ibstock player kicks it out of his hand and is walking towards the open goal. I flag for a defensive free kick (effectively disallowing an Ibstock goal) and boy were they not happy! I think they knew I was right deep down... very deep down somewhere. That's pretty much the end of my involvement but Ibstock score a looping header in the 63rd minute and then in the 70th minute there's a caution for a bad challenge followed by two cautions in the 75th minute for "verbals".
