        ...Boaby Gillespie knocks it on goal but Raya is there to make an incredible save!
Min 11: The Cannons sit back and absorb pressure...
        ...before Thornton's (NJN) ball into the box is cut out by Andy Goram (CN).
Min 18: Thornton (NJN) heads toward the goal...
        ...but instead of chancing his luck from a tight angle he plays it back to Iagame...

        ...but the flag goes up for offside!...
        ...it was a Cannons man who played it on - ludicrous decision. 
Min 37: Myles Lewis-Skelly almost penetrates Nutmegs's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and Dujon Sterling would have lost his well placed foot.?

        ...and it is collected by Raya for the save.
Min 44: Jack Wontshire (CN) down the wing...
        ...he plays it across to Myles Usher...
