AFC Totton v. Bristol Rovers F.A Cup 2nd Round

First Half
Rovers have had a poor league run so far this season so an F.A cup run may be able to strengthen the squad.  Rovers got off to a good start with some great passing and some good balls into the box.  There first 3 goals came within 5 minutes of play.  The first goal came from Joe Anyisah, on the 8th minute, who struck the ball brilliantly to the top right corner.  The second goal came 2 minutes later by Mustaha Carayol with an oustanding run and an excellent finish.  The 3rd goal came at 13th minutes with a spectular left-footed 35 yard shot form danny woodards that went straight for the bottom corner.  There were a few feisty moments in this first half which saw totton's assistant manager Sean New try to trip Carayol which ended up with getting him a yellow card, he was then later subbed off for Eliot Richards.

Second Half
Tottons best effort came later in the second half when Scott Bevan produced an excellent double save only to see substitute Natheniel Sherbournes shot go in.  Rovers fourth came from Byron Anthony's header from Eliot Richards corner.  Rovers 5th goal came from Eliot Richards 12 yard shot that went straight to the top corner.  Rovers final goal came after Matt Harrold's cross to Eliot Richards who slotted home goal number six.  During the second half substitute Ben Swallow's rash tackle saw him get sent off.  
Rovers F.A Cup 3rd round clash at home against Aston Villa will be broadcasted live on ESPN from 5:30pm on saturday 7th janurary 2012.
