Meg FC Beaten in Lincoln Amateur Cup Semi-Final

The Saturday XI missed the chance of reaching the Lincoln Amateur Cup final last Saturday (16th Feb 08) as they lost 5-3, after extra time, against arch rivals Plough FC Skellingthorpe. Meg have not beaten Plough in five meetings, since they overcame them in the final of the Village Trophy in April 2006.

On Saturday Meg led twice through Matt Purbrick penalties and then came back from 3-2 down to take the game into extra time as Purbrick completed his hat-trick with an injury time equaliser but the extra half an hour proved too much as Plough netted twice in the second period.
