Match Report - Redhill v Dorking Wanderers

Senior Cup Success

Redhill 1 Dorking Wanderers 0 - Tuesday, 7th November 2023

Reuben Duncan's swerving left-footer from outside the box on 62 minutes beat Dorking Wanderers 'keeper Slavomir Huk, though he got a strong hand to it, and it proved to be enough to take Redhill through to the Third Round of this season's Specsavers Surrey Senior Cup.

Wanderers won the competition in 2022, edging Kingstonian on penalties in the Final, but it was a very young Wanderers side that faced the Lobsters at Kiln Brow on Tuesday night with players like Jacob Todman and Ollie Rawlings who had notched 19 goals between them for Wanderers' B team.

Both teams showed great energy in the first half on a chilly night at the Brow but created few chances between them. The home side didn't manage a shot on target in the first half-hour but came close to opening their account just before the break as a Duncan volley had Huk moving smartly to his left to save.

On the hour Tyrese Sutherland, on for Tom Harland-Goddard (whose brother Paddi was in Dorking's defence!), fired a foot wide before Duncan's super strike won the tie for the Lobsters. Wanderers' spirited youngsters threw everything into attack near the end but couldn't conjure up an equaliser.
