This Cup game opened with a crazy first 10 minutes that saw 4 goals scored. Lower Bell took the lead when a goal kick was passed straight back towards the Green goalmouth. The Green keeper raced off his line to smother the ball, only to see it slip under his body to gift the Bell forward a simple tap in to make it 1-0. Green instantly hit back, when an excellent passing move sliced open the Bell defence for Jay Neeson to smash home with his right foot. Green then took the game to Bell and through good work from Terry Foy, Russell �Rusty� Stewart curled home to make it 2-1 to Larkfield Green. Green then undid their own good work when a defender handled in the area to gift Bell a penalty which they duly scored to make it 2-2.



The game then settled and Green never looked like making this anything but their own with countless efforts coming close and just missing the target. Terry Foy and Martyn Reardon terrorised the Bell full backs carving open several attacks, linking perfectly with the forwards and central midfield pair of James �Polly� Stockley and Graham Jenkins. Hard work from Rusty created the perfect opening for Neeson to double his tally and take the score to 3 -2 in Green�s favour. Green continued to press again and with shots closely missing the target and being tipped over by the goalkeeper, it was a deft Robinho style chip by Jenkins that took the score to 4-2 for Green, which is how it stayed at half-time.



In the second half, it was Green again that dominated and Bell can think themselves extremely fortunate to not have been on the end of a rout, if but for poor finishing and shades of misfortune. Green went 5-2 up when Rusty Stewart jinked he�s way through the Bell defence only to be upended by a clumsy challenge for a penalty which he duly converted. Neeson should have completed he�s own hat-trick but through mistiming and hurried excitement blasted wide, over and straight at the keeper. Again Foy and Reardon created openings, while Jenkins also shot over. Neeson was replaced by Kevin Stone and he too came close on several occasions, shooting wide, heading straight to the keeper and then smashing the cross bar from an acute angle which Rusty should have converted but passed back to the keeper. Stewart made amends shortly after completing he�s deserved hat-trick, when turning the Bell defence inside out to blast home to make it 6-2. In the dying minutes again Green looked on in disbelief as substitute Mark Price blasted through a crowded goalmouth only to see the Bell keeper somehow push the ball wide of the post. Final score 6-2 to Larkfield Green.
