Southern Youth League - League Cup - Dorking U18s 3 Balham U18s 2

Dorking U18s moved into the quarter finals of the Southern youth League League Cup with a hard fought 3-2 win over Balham, a team looking strong favourites to win the league's Central Division.  With Dorking U18s top of the South Division, this was a good test for Simon Coffey's team.

 

Balham were the better side in the first half, surging into a two goal lead and Dorking had to dig deep as they went into the second half 2-0 down.

 

But in a game of two halves, Dorking were as good in the second period as Balham had been in the first.  Harry Maneh put Dorking back into the game before an own goal drew Chicks youngsters level, the Balham defender caught in a difficult position running into his 6 yard box with Ryan Stewart waiting to tap the ball in behind him, only for the defender's clearance to find his own team's net.

 

Dorking sensed a winner now and it was Harry Maneh who scored the winner for Dorking to complete a good comeback and give Dorking U18s a home tie in the next round against Oakwood, with either Lingfield or South Park awaiting the winner in the semi final.

 

Dorking - H Warne, M Legg, J Clark, C Torrisi, I Philpot, J Baker, T Coffey (c), C Worsfold, J Murrell, H Maneh, R Stewart subs S Batchelor, L Armstrong, M Ward, J Aninger
