The Lodge FC 1
Tisbury Utd FC 3
Wilts Junior Cup 2nd Round
By Dan Carter.

Tisbury kicked off in style thanks to sponsors Johnsons Stalbridge Linen sponsoring their new match day polo shirts. Johnsons have supported the club for several seasons and the team paid them back with a first win in their new strip in the Wilts Junior Cup.
‘The Sharks’ began their defence of the WJC with a trip to the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster to take on Trowbridge & District League side The Lodge FC.
Tisbury started the game brightly but failed to create anything meaningful as The Lodge seized the initiative. Despite being in the ascendancy they were unable to work United keeper Cardy until Jack Mitchell gave away a penalty. Despite guessing the correct way Cardy was unable to save the low hit shot as the hosts took the lead.
At a goal down at half-time and in danger of going out of the cup United rallied and were much better in the second half. Archie Few levelled the score on 65 minutes with a sweet first-time strike from 20 yards. This seemed to dent The Lodge’s belief and Hatch scored a second five minutes later, finishing well at the back post with his right foot.
It was one-way traffic at this point and Tisbury’s pathway to the third round was secured when Andy Faulkner raced clear to finish well after being played in by Bealer on 80 minutes.
The Sharks will face Swindon & District side Lower Stratton in the third round.
