In this Cup match, Reeves came up against a very determined and well drilled side that never allowed them to settle on the ball. It was good to see the Reeves boys keeping their discipline and working together throughout the whole of the match.

Prior to the start, we had a minutes silence to commemorate Remembrance Day.

Straight from the kick off, Lyne showed their intent by competing for every ball and not giving Reeves the opportunity to settle.  For the first five minutes the game was pretty even, until a through ball allowed the Lyne No. 9 to break through from just inside the Reeves half and, with only the goalkeeper to beat, put Lyne in the lead. From the restart Reeves were under pressure with a series of attacks from the Lyne right wing, could have been further behind if it was not for Alexander smothering one attack and Phil clearing the ball off the line in another.

Reeves continued to work hard and compete for every ball. It was not until mid way through the half that Reeves had their first shot on goal. This seemed to settle the boys and was followed by a good long range shot from Josh. Soon after that Adam made a neat pass to Seunghyun whose shot was just wide. With only a couple of minutes of the half remaining, Seunghyun provided a fine cross from the right for Elliott to slot the ball home and even the score. The first half ended with the Lyne No. 9 once again making a powerful run from inside his own half with the Reeves defenders in pursuit. His shot hit the post and was cleared by Phil who had chased all the way back.
 

Just as in the first half, the Lyne players harried the Reeves boys and were unlucky not to score when twice within the first fifteen minutes they had shots hit the post and cleared off the line. Eventually, the Lyne pressure paid off with a goal in the 22^nd minute when a shot rebounded off Alexander to two unmarked Lyne forwards . Reeves continued to compete for the ball with both Joshes trying very hard and Darren showing a lot of composure on the left of the defence. In the dying minutes of the match Lyne snatched a third goal and then Ryan almost scored a second for Reeves but his shot slowed down on a heavy pitch and allowed a Lyne defender to clear it off the line.
