Aaron Goode was having a tremendous game and ten
minutes before the break got in a fine low header
that just eluded the post. Three minutes later he
burst through the middle, but again could not find
the target. Unfortunately just beforehand Baker had
made it three with a penalty, harshly awarded
against Dean Hamlin.
Just before the break King tipped over
a long range shot to at least leave some vestige of
hope for the second half.
Half Time: Stockport County 3-0 Terrors
Paul Vines had scored in each of Tootings five FA Cup
ties this season and his best attempt at extending
that record came two minutes after the restart with
a header that just cleared the crossbar. A good five
minutes ended when Baker ran through, brushing off
several challenges before firing wide.
In an unexpected move Billy made substitutions before
injury time, introducing Pitterson and Fletcher for
Byatt and McLeod, but the Hatters were again
back in control and after Nelson had made a
brilliant block it was another parried save from
King that gave Turnbill the chance to pounce and
score the fourth.
Baker missed a sitter a minute later, but soon made
amends by setting up the fifth for Thompson, that
took a wicked deflection to wrong foot King.
Parker headed wide with ten minutes left and Aaron
Goode was just off target with a decent long range
effort just before the end, but there was to be no
consolation, save the generous standing ovation from
the home team and superb supporters. A great
day out - THANK YOU STOCKPORT
