FOOTBALL UPDATE 02-10-14

1st TEAM
Ringmer have been enjoying a bout of success recently with two cup wins, last Saturday they visited Rustington in the Sussex Senior Cup and ran out 6-1 winners on the day with 4 goals from Jordan Woodley and a brace from Jacob Shelton. On Wednesday night they travelled away again, this time to take on Horsham YMCA in the RUR Charity Cup. A good game of football from both sides ended with Ringmer beating last year's RUR winners 2-1 with Woodley netting both. The first a well taken penalty after Dan Rogers was manhandled to the ground during a Ringmer corner kick and the second an exquisite left foot shot that bent round defenders into the net. Ringmer's next round will be away at Mile Oak date TBC.
