Drayton Wasps more than matched their higher league opponents, Milton United, in the first round of the Under 12's Cup, but were made to pay for two lapses in concentration, and more than a couple of missed chances. Milton, with the wind at their backs, started the stronger, but despite having the lions share of possession, were unable to break down a resolute Drayton defence. After 20 minutes, the entire Drayton defence appeared to nod off, as a free kick from the right was allowed to reach Jordan Mordey on the edge of the 6 yard box, who gratefully tucked to ball away to make it 1-0 to Milton. Drayton came back strongly, and just before half time Josh Dennis rode several strong changes before putting the ball in the net, only to see the goal disallowed for an apparent foul by Dennis (much to both teams bemusement). It remained 1-0 to Milton until half time. The second half was again, a very even affair, with very few clear cut chances. Will Simmons had the chance to equalise when clean through, but skewed his shot wide. With ten minutes remaining, Drayton wasted their best chance. After the Milton Keeper, Josh Godfrey, had made a fantastic save, Kyle De Silva smashed the rebound against the post. The ball fell to Josh Dennis six yards out, but he failed to convert this golden opportunity. With Drayton pushing forward looking for an equaliser, Milton were catching the home side on the break, and from one particular breakaway the entire Drayton defence were sucked towards the man with the ball, leaving the unmarked Jordan Mordey the simpliest of tap in's from the resultant cross. A very entertaining game, played in a fantastic spirit. Good luck in the next round Milton. Back to the league for The Wasps.
