Don't fancy his chances if Justin Harris is playing for the Crows!

He's a winger, mustard at L2 level on FM08
60: Clearest opportunity of the game so far. Gatting rounds Oldroyd but drags his left-foot shot wide of the far post.
Not sure how many more chances he will get to prove himself now. Been given plenty of opportunities but not sure he will be able to cut it in L1.

Lost then? 84th minute penalty.
Edit - the just moved the penalty 5 mins earlier, so maybe there is still time. . .

Oh dear. 0-1 full time.
Adams must surely do the honourable thing after this*. . .

Just got back.
Pretty poor game to be honest. Brighton probably had the best chances (notably when Gatting went round the keeper and then shot wide of an open goal.) but overall there was little between the 2 teams and it was settled by a dodgy pen. It was a very young and weak Brighton team though. I cannot see any of the players there being involved in the first team this season.

That's probably a fair assessment. The Albion youngsters were fitter, sharper and technically better (as you would expect) than the Crows lads, but struggled to really threaten the goal. Crowborough didn't create many chances either but showed some good resiliance - at least it didn't go to penalties.
Good turn out of 300+ too!
That's three pieces of silverware in Crows trophy cabinet before the season's started!
Looking forward to reading Mr Bridge's in depth match report on here later!

Match report from last night:
A carnival atmosphere was enjoyed by the travelling hordes at the Crowborough Community Stadium last night. It was a balmy, humid evening as the Young Stripes cascaded onto the bobbly pitch and proceeded to set about the Crows with gay abandon.
Eventually the game settled down into a slighty less frenetic pace. In a game of few chances, the most notable was when Zamora rounded the Crows keeper and still endeavoured to miss the target. His strike partner, Wardy, shook his head in disbelief.
Eric Steele in the Brighton goal was rarely troubled, but alas, could not keep out the penalty that eventually won the game. The defensive line on front of him, comprising of Cullip, Lawrenson, Gallacher and Fozzie, were immaculate all evening.
As the game drew to an end we all politely clapped the players as they received their medals amidst a moody backdrop of lightening and thunder.
Upon retiring back to the bar we were amazed at how approachable the entire Albion squad were and we talked about the offside law in depth with the likes of Peter Sayer and Clive Walker.
Full Albion line up:-
Steele
Cullip
Lawrenson
Gallacher
Fozzie
Case
Sayer
Oatway
Walker
Zamora
Ward

I was a bit disappointed that Jimmy Melia was absent from the dugout (I heard he was scouting a "big name" and will probably require a new thread for discussion as to who this might be), but to give him credit Barry Lloyd didn't do a bad job in his place, although his decision to tell Garry Nelson that he wasn't going to be involved in the club bogs was not respectful to one of the Albion's better strikers (Tubby told me about this cos he happened to be "reading the programme" at the time).
I also heard that club Director Norman "Mister Grimsdale" Wisdom was in the house, but as we were stopped from accessing the Directors Lounge after the game, this rumour cannot be substantiated.
