United, by no means, had an easy ride in this encounter against a Lincoln side that pushed us all the way in an entertaining evening’s football watched by 628 supporters.
The opening game of the FA Youth Cup campaign has always been anticipated for countless seasons, particularly for fans of more mature years, and this was no different as United welcomed the Imps for this third-round tie.
United were surely starting the match as favourites but the visitors hadn’t made the long cross-country journey to make up the numbers and that was apparent in the opening stages when they were brimming with confidence and no shortage of ability.
