SNFC Get Off To Solid Start In FA Cup With Victory Over Morecambe
Non-League Paper
Although not as authoritative as their constant blowouts of opposition in Conference League play, the 2-1 victory for Network over Morecambe in the qualifying round of the vaunted FA Cup was good enough for captain DC76, who said that this was to be expected.
"Even for Conference sides, the FA Cup is a step up in prestige, so everyone kicks their play up a notch or two," the Canadian said. "I'm hardly surprised that the scoreline was so close. They played well. We just played that extra bit better."
The 4 SNFC defenders played the offside trap to near-perfection, which frustrated a surprisingly aggressive Morecambe with nearly five times the offsides as their opposition, 9 against 2.
Rob was once again the offensive dynamo, scoring one goal and assisting on the other from super-sub Theospurs. Despite an early assist, German striker alma seemed a little dismayed post-match, not so much from being subbed off, but from a self-perceived lack of form. But according to manager Daniel, she "shouldn't sweat it - she'll be back on form in no time."
