Total Sport Challenge Trophy - 2nd Round
RCA The Barnes progressed to the quarter finals of the Total Sport Challenge Trophy with a comfortable 7-2 victory over a spirited second division Hetton Town. A first half hat trick from Willie Crew put RCA in the driving seat before slack play in the second half allowed Paul Diamond to pull a goal back for Hetton, but RCA responded immediately and scored further goals from Martin Metcalfe and an own goal to go 5-1 up.
Credit to Hetton though and they scored a second, again from Diamond, when RCA centre halves allowed a long ball to bounce with neither attacking the ball and Diamond pounced to score.
RCA upped the tempo again though and Andy Place and then debutant David Newby added further goals to give a final scoreline of 7-2.
