Colombians force Casuals replay in Division One Cup

Hockey

A late goal from Matt Watson saw Colombians draw level with Casuals to force a replay in the semi-finals of Men's Division One Cup.

A hat-trick from Andy Whalley helped Casuals take a 4-3 lead in the tie with Matt Palmer scoring their fourth.

Colombians kept in touch with their rivals thanks to goals from TJ Ozanne, Matt de La Mare and Chris Gill before Watson struck the equaliser.

The winner of the replay will play Unwantables in the final.

Unwantables beat Cenkos Yobbos 3-0 to book their spot in the final.

Colombians captain Watson said: "This is the first time I can remember us being completely outplayed this season.

"Conceding four goals before half-time tells its own story, and they should be kicking themselves for not effectively knocking us out of the Cup.

"Saying that, my guys deserve huge credit for showing bottle and fight when it counts."

With the match approaching its end, Watson skilfully steered the ball home from a short corner to set up a replay.
