Another great day was had in FC United's second match ever down at AFC Wimbledons "The Fans Stadium". A tight match was played out infront of a crowd of 3,301, including an estimated 1,000 united fans who'd travelled down. They were in great voice throughout the match just as they were at Leigh last Saturday. The match itself was very evenly fought out much to the suprise of many, as it was expected the dons would be too classy for the reds. The first half saw United having the best of the chances with Steve Torpey seeing a cross come shot go close, and Adie Orr almost slotting home from close range. To think this team has only been together such a short space of time its quite amazing to see em holding there own. Wimbledons lack of chances was much due to Rob Nugents solid performance at the back keeping the threatining Richard Butler under raps throughout the second half. The deadlock was broken however on 54 minutes when wimbledon's eventual man of the match Ricci Crace broke clear after a great through ball and lobbed it past the keeper. Unfortunate for Barrie George who like last week at Leigh was in inspired form and ended being man of the match for FC United. All in all a good performance and on another day the supporters direct cup wouldve might of been FC Uniteds first piece of silverware :-)
