Bracknell Sunday League side@WhitegroveFC take on P&IC United

Positive start for Whitegrove who have already seen two shots cleared off the line. Still 0-0.

P&IC United open the scoring with their first shot. Dreadful defending from Whitegrove who squander two chances to clear.

Jim Hardy nearly levels it up with his thigh from sixteen yards but just wide to the right.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

It is 1-1 here as Hardy's left sided cross flies in the top the right corner. Not meant but he will take it. Whitegrove playing well.

Ben Poynter lashes a shot at goal which strikes an arm. No penalty and Whitegrove are rightly furious. Still 1-1.

P&IC United with a 22 yard free-kick which goes over the bar.

HT: Whitegrove 1-1 P&IC United

Whitegrove move ahead five minutes into the second half as Billy Price scores. 2-1 to Whitegrove.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

It's 2-2 now and another error. Centre half dragged out wide and never got back plus goalkeeper Josh Woodley dwelled and never got the ball.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Thirteen minutes left and still 2-2.
Game has settled down.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Panic in the area but Whitegrove cannot bundle it home. Still 2-2.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Whitegrove think they have won it as Tyler Edwards heads in but the celebrations are cut short by a late offside flag. Must stay composed.

Extra time here we come!

HT in extra time:
Whitegrove 2-2 P&IC United

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Just before the half time whistle Levi Tippett's header was brilliantly saved. From the corner another Whitegrove shot cleared off the line.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Straight from the restart and Poynter is denied.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Price does well to set up Poynter but fired over off balance.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

115 minutes played and the diminutive goalkeeper (my MOTM) somehow tips over Price's effort. Another Whitegrove shot cleared from corner.

— Football in Berkshire (@fiberkshire) April 17, 2016

Yet another Whitegrove effort sails wide. They deserve to have won but two errors have cost them.
Still 2-2 with two minutes left.
