CYRIL ANEKSTEIN CUP ROUND TWO
NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A 6 FC TEAM B 1
Mitch Young has tipped Raiders to win silverware this season after L'Orange hit FC Team for six to ease into round three.
RICKY ENGLEMAN fired a hat-trick for the second week in a row as league overpowered old foes FC Team B.
Further strikes from David Dinkin (2) and Josh Green added the gloss for Rob Richman's men.
Team manager Mitch Young told JC Sport: "We lost to the better Team - Raiders are a real force and are even stronger than what they were."
"However, we had a game-plan and for 25 minutes it was working perfectly; we went 1-0 up and were defending well. However, we made stupid mistakes to let Raiders in going down 2-1 at half time.
"More defensive errors cost us and then we chased the game. We have more important games than this coming up, but I was proud with the amount of effort the players put in, and good luck to Raiders - I will be shocked if they do not win anything this year."
NLR boss Rob Richman told JC Sport: "Despite the scoreline, we weren’t anywhere close to our best today. We won the game and we won the game convincingly but we know that our performances will need to be a little stronger over the coming weeks against better opposition.
"We are delighted to be in the next round of the cup and to be entering November having won every single game of football we have played sets us up nicely for the winter months."
