Cubbington progress in the cup after penalty shoot-out

We start our round-up with a fixture from Last Sunday 26th January. The quarter final tie in the Sunday Amateur Cup, between Cubbington FC and Bearwood Athletic from the Warley & District Sunday league.
Bearwood started the better of the two teams and dominated the first 10 minutes, however Cubbington grew into the game, with Luke Swinnerton and Tajae Ferguson pulling the strings in midfield, and they started to get a hold on the game. However on 35 mins Bearwood went close with header, only for the Cubbington goal keeper to make a comfortable save. 0-0 at half time.

That rallied Bearwood and on 61 mins they took the lead through James Davis. The game was back and forth, but the Cubbington winger Charlie Faulkner was a thorn in the side of the Bearwood full back, and his persistence paid off and forced a mistake, resulting in Alex Poulter crashing home on 72 mins to make it one all. The game continued with both teams trading blows, and a lapse in concentration resulted in Bearwood scoring through Malachi Clearkin, giving the Wolverhampton side the advantage with fourteen minutes left on the clock. Cubbington found another gear, and Charlie Faulkner got his reward on with only seven minutes to go, finishing smartly making it all square again. That is how the game ended, with the tie to be decided by a penalty shootout. A hard fought game ended with Cubbington Keeper Sean Wilson saving a Bearwood penalty, Cubbington winning 5-4 on penalties. The semi-final draw now sees Cubbington drawn at home against Bradmore Social FC from the Wolverhampton & District league.
