Islip United Reserves went down 1-2 in extra time to Weldon United ‘A’     Weldon started the game well and took the lead inside the first minute after good work by Tom Galway who turned the Islip defence inside-out before squaring to Sean Fraser for a simple tap-in.  Weldon continued the pressure but could not find another goal.  Islip hit back through a goalkeeping howler by the Weldon keeper who had not had a touch in the first half until picking the ball out of the net.

The second half was much of the same but Weldon could not take their chances, leading the game into extra time.
