Ravens View of Boston

Last updated : 24 August 2006 By Mark R

I can't say that much about the game as spent most of it chatting to people, but it wasn't a great spectacle and hats off to the 35 Boston fans that made the long trip south.

The referee constantly blew his whistle and spoiled what little entertainment there was.

A good goal from Reid (who rightly got the sponsors MOTM), a well struck low shot across the keeper into the far side of the net.

The highlight before that was a great save by Kuipers from a deflected shot and also a good block later on.

Boston looked a poor side, played 10 men behind the ball, but we made hard work of it. The crowd was I believe a new Withdean low of just 2,533.

But a win is a win and the draw for the second round is 1.30pm on Saturday afternoon.

Everton away would do me.
