A real shame to go out of the cup at this stage after last season's good run but Monaco could only blame the lack of a killer touch in front of goal for their exit to a very good Westexe team. At the end of a goalless first half Richard Sandiford blasted his first goal for the club from the edge of the area and it seemed the team would go on to win but in the second half after a defensive slip up(!) the speedy right winger from the homeside slid the ball inside the post for 1-1 and soon after another slip up(!) the same player scored an identical goal. Monaco pressed and pressed. Dan Verrier sent in corner after corner under the keeper's crossbar but none were connected with and as it seemed Monaco were going home, up popped Matt watts to power through and scramble the ball over the line with seconds to spare. Extra time was very even and legs were tired. Cue another run from the home side's speedy winger this time Noah Wright was equal to him until he pulled his troublesome calf leaving the inevitable outcome into the same corner.
