GARSTON VETS LEAGUE INVITATIONAL CUP QUARTER-FINAL
LONDON LIONS 6 SOUTHGATE 2

London Lions blasted their way into their third semi-final of the season with a comprehensive victory over Southgate in this Invitational Cup match at Rowley Lane.

With a long list of absentees, it was a good time to welcome back Danny Daggers after injury had seen him miss the entire season to date. Partnering the outstanding Craig Pearl at the base of the Lions midfield the duo, with Brad Lazarus linking the play ahead of them, set about Southgate from the off.

It was clear that the pace of Tony Gold and the willing running of Saul Conway were going to be real assets, and so it proved when, with just 12 minutes on the clock. The latter broke clear following good work from Radford. The on-rushing Southgate keeper, who had an excellent game, was out quickly to block, but he was so unlucky that the loose ball cannoned back off a defender into the path of the supporting LAZARUS who took a touch and rolled the ball home.
