Kitchen Magic Cup - Second Round
Sunday 8 March 2009
Played on a horrible pitch at Hillview with a howling gale blowing from end to end RCA progressed to the Third Round of the Kitchen Magic Cup courtesy of three first half goals, kicking with the wind and slope, scored by Andy Place (2) and RCA's oustanding young defender Liam Dunn with a long range strike - his first of what we hope will be many. Catholic Club had equalised earlier but half time saw RCA with a 3-1 lead.
The second half was always going to be backs against the wall and thus it proved, but with skipper Curtis and young Dunn, ably assisted by Alan Surtees at the back and a battling display all the way from the forwards, RCA hung on for a 3 - 2 victory, with the only goal of the second half coming when a long range shot, after a corner had been cleared, took a wicked deflection off the pitch and reared up to decieve keeper Errington.
