Lydbrook reach the semi-finals

Thursday, August 28, 2008, 00:01

LYDBROOK Athletic will visit Winchcombe in the semi-finals of the Reg Davis Northern Senior Cup on Saturday September 13.

Longlevens will take on Sharpness in the other semi-final.

Wayne Schiller's side proved too strong for Ramblers in the quarter-finals on Saturday, winning 3-0.

Kerry Hale intercepted for Lydbrook's first goal, then Yusef Mertoglu set up Mark Wayman for the second goal before the break.

Ramblers had a man sent off in the second-half, but were much more of a threat, despite having only 10 men.

Lydbrook keeper Lee Barnard had to stay on his toes to pull off a couple of fine saves.

With five minutes to go, Lydbrook made the game safe with a third goal from Mark Wayman.

It was a solid all-round team performance by Lydbrook, with Mertoglu starring in midfield and Wayman leading the front-line well.

Lydbrook Athletic: Lee Barnard, Richard Haggar, Steve Blaby, Ben Schiller, Martin Reid, Craig Broadman, Yusef Mertoglu, Simon Holland (captain), Kerry Hale, Mark Wayman, Lee Hanson. Subs: Mike Nelson, Lee Adams.

SWITCHING: Mike Nelson has returned to Lydbrook from Ellwood.
