FA Cup semi-final results

We have a repeat of last year’s final.

Claymore Athletic FC

 v 1
Real Muppets

Kolarov [c]

Gestede 79

Cresswell [c]





Smith [c]




Att: 59,905






Fred West Landscape Gardening XI

 v

 Aardvark Abacus

Rondon 11

(1)

 Drinkwater 30

Lallana 34





Rahman [c]




Att: 75,272



Fred will have a chance to defend the trophy in a Wembley final on 18 May after seeing off old rivals the Aardvarks. Solomon Rondon swept home early on to put the Gardeners ahead but a deflected Danny Drinkwater strike on the half hour brought Ady level. Parity lasted just four minutes before an Adam Lallana effort evaded the Abacus keeper and Fred closed the game out with a Baba Rahman clean.


It was cleans all the way for Claymore who get a crack at revenge following last year’s controversial final. Rudy Gestede broke the deadlock for the Muppets late on but it was clean sheets from Alex Kolarov, Aaron Cresswell and Adam Smith that got the job done.
