The Ground Junkie!: Comeback of the century at

Saturday 19th September

Sawbridgeworth Town FC vs Clapton FC
Essex Senior League

With all these Braintree games all coming and going, I've been completely forgetting about Clapton.

Therefore I needed to make a game fairly soon before I forget about them completely.

Decided to make the Sawbridgeworth away game since it's only down the road from me.

It was also good because I was bringing my mate Marley along, a guy who is eagerly interested in the tons and the Clapton Ultras.

Arrived at the ground just before 2, nothing much to do in the ground up until kick off really, also we couldn't be bothered to walk into the town because there's nothing really to do, a few shops and that but nothing too interesting.

The rest of our fans finally arrived dead on kick off and the match begun very lively, we forced a total of 5 corners to begin with, and from that 5th we went 1-0 ahead Mendez Gomez shot went past the far post in the seventh minute.

Sawbo then came back and their player equalised with a shot from outside the area and Sawbridgeworth equalised.

Sawbridgeworth then scored once again in the 41st minute when they scored a spectacular goal from a really narrow angle, and yet goal another 2 minutes later when they shot from 8 yards out

We were pretty mad that we let 3 easy goals in when going into half time.

Marley clearly delighted with the first half performance...

HT: Sawbridgeworth Town 3-1 Clapton

Second half began with Clapton having most of the chances, a few shots that tested the Sawbridgeworth keeper.

In the 77th minute we get a penalty, Warren Metolaz had his shot saved but easily followed in the rebound, couple of our fans stood behind the goal and got it on camera, once again link at the end.

Suddenly we were dreaming of a comeback!! And my god!! It happened!!

In the 81st a lob into the box wasn't cleared properly and Metolaz again capitalised and we went mental!!

That's how it finished

FT Sawbridgeworth 3-3 Clapton.
