FA Cup
AFC Stoneham 5
Basingstoke Town 4
Scorers: Martins(2), Welch,Clarke, Callaghan.
It is very difficult to sum up todays game in a Facebook post. One actually had to be there to believe it! Wow!
The boys were three down in 28 minutes and went in 3-1 down at half time against a very good team from two leagues above. We were always huge underdogs for this game.
We were 4-1 down on 49 minutes.
What then happened in the remaining 41 minutes of normal time and nearly 12 minutes of added time will live in the memory for evermore!
The boys somehow found added belief and energy to score 4 goals and miss a penalty in a truly unbelievable last 41 minutes of normal time. The added time seemed endless as the boys literally threw their bodies in front of every shot as we defended as if our lives depended on it.
We progressed to the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup and beat a Step 3 club for the first time ever with probably the greatest result in our 103 year history.
A truly wonderful and momentous day for our club which will never be forgotten and we would like to thank everyone who came along to support the team.
The magic of the FA Cup lives on !!
