ESSEX COUNTY CUP 1st ROUND..STANWAY ROVERS YOUTH 11 SANTOS FC 0

Santos have crashed out of the Essex County Cup last Sunday losing 11 nil to a very impressive Eastern Junior Alliance side Stanway Rovers.This was the heaviest defeat in the clubs history since it was formed four years ago.Although missing three players in key positions last Sunday Santos fc can offer no excuses for this inept performance.They were second best in every position from front to back and this was proven with them conceding 3 goals in the first 10 minutes.
Stanway Rovers were an excellent side who were organised in every position,they attacked as a unit and defended as a unit,something that was completely missing in the Santos team,the only shining light was a one man midfield battling performance from Aaron Hepworth which indeed won him the Santos man of the match award,the only other player worth a mention was goalkeeper Matthew McCarthy who again for the second week running was in superb form with a series of fine saves,well done Matthew!.
This coming Sunday sees Santos return to league action,more news on that to follow...
