The next county to tick off is in bound: Buckinghamshire! A long way to go on a school night but it’s down the M1 and into the ground with around 20 minutes until kick off. £9 to watch this game! Ok! The teams are ready! We are ready! Let’s go!
Kick Off! MK have started the better of the 2 teams here so far. 5 minutes in and MK come forward, he gets past 1, past 2, past 3 and he shoots… Saved! What a goal that would’ve been!
9th minute and MK are still pressing, it’s Shrieves who runs into the box and he plays it across… It’s a goal! Meadows with the finish and it’s been coming! 1-0!
19 minutes now and MK come again, Shrieves is through again in the box on the right and he sets up Spence to shoot… He’s hit the post! So unlucky!
26th minute now and here come MK again, Olukanmi gets into the box on the left and he has space to shoot… And score! 2-0! Brilliant from MK! “Potton get battered everywhere they go!” A lady in the crowd cheering on her team against Potton.
41 minutes on the watch and Olukanmi has the ball on the right, he cuts onto his left on the edge of the box and he shoots… Deflected… And in!! He’s got another one and MK have daylight! 3-0!
2 minutes later and MK are in again and Spence shoots… it’s another one! Potton have capitulated! 4-0!
Into stoppage time and Potton lose the ball just outside their own box and it’s played out right, it’s played across the middle and here’s Meadows… He’s got another one! It’s all going to pot for Potton! 5-0! That’s how it stays at half time.
Second half, MK continue to press as they did in the first half. 55th minute and MK have it on the left, it’s played across the box and the keeper will get there… Oh no! He’s lost it and it’s going to be turned in! Olukanmi has his hat-trick! 6-0!
85th minute and MK play the ball over the top but Potton will get there and the defender plays it back to the keeper… Oh wait it’s a bit wayward… It’s going in… OH! It has! That just about sums up Potton’s night… 7-0!
Into stoppage time and Potton come forward, can they get on the scoresheet…? No and MK clear and they break, it’s played across the edge of the box and played in to Ward… And he finishes! That is the goal of the game! 8-0! Game over!
FT: MK Irish 8-0 Potton United
Ratings
- Atmosphere: 2/10 – Pretty dead but the lady gave it a good go so I’ll give them an extra point.
- The Ground: 7/10 – Love the main stand! Looks like it’s getting an extension at the far side which will improve it significantly but it’s still pretty good so far!
- Expense: 10/10 – £9 is a bit steep for this level but for that score line I’m happy!
- Overall Experience: 7/10 – Not everyday you see a score like that but that’s all to report really.
