Farnborough suffer heavy defeat

Farnborough slipped to their second consecutive defeat on Sunday as Bridon Ropes completed the double over the Academy with a convincing 5-0 win. It was a disappointing result for Farnborough considering their recent good performances in the league but, in truth, the score line could have been even more embarrassing by the final whistle.

After reacquainting themselves with a Bridon side that ended their unbeaten run last Sunday, Farnborough failed to spark into life on a morning to forget for Richard Percy’s side. Without the services of Goalkeeper George Bradley, top scorer Jack Neal was forced to play in goal as the visitors struggled to cause any real attacking threat without their top marksman.

Despite the heavy loss, the result brought an end to a satisfying year for the Academy. With Farnborough just four points off of top spot, a push for the league title will certainly act as a motivational tool heading into the New Year.
