Sun Sports 2 Knebworth 1                                 1972/73                                       Aubrey Cup

John Reeve's late-late show

Sun Sports left it very late in booking their Aubrey Cup fourth round spot.
It looked odds on a draw with just three minutes left but then John Reeve popped up to hit home a Ray Cole cross for the winner.
The goal brought just reward for Sun - as they had outplayed Knebworth for most of the tie.
only bad finishing prevented Sun settling the issue earlier.
It highlighted the Bellmountwood Avenue outfit's improved form, as Sun had struggled to draw in the two recent league meetings.
The in form Graham Seabrook had given the hosts a 30 minute lead when he headed home a Dennis Rayner corner.
Knebworth equalised just before half time, however, John Aldridge, John Reeve and Terry Birch all went close as Sun surged forward after the interval before Reeve produced the last gasp winner.
