Three Bridges enjoyed a night to remember as they knocked Albion Under-21s out of the Parafix Sussex Senior Cup.

Sam MacVicar’s ninth goal of the season nine minutes from time sealed a tremendous 2-1 comeback victory for Ryman south hosts Bridges in this second round clash.

Paul Faili’s side trailed from the tenth minute when Daniel Akindayini fired Albion in front after pouncing on a defensive error.

Akindayini, who was an unused substitute for the first team at Burnley last Sunday, was a thorn in the side of the hosts throughout the first half. He volleyed inches wide and then had a shot blocked in the space of two minutes, then later in the first half fired past a post after going through one-on-one.

Bridges, though, had a couple of chances too, notably when Albion’s young Irish goalkeeper Harry Doherty made a stunning save to keep out Hakeem Adelakun’s strike.

Akindayini had a chance to extend the lead after racing clear on 65 minutes but failed to take the chance and the young Seagulls were punished nine minutes later when a diving header by Ben Godfrey from Steve Sargent’s corner made it 1-1.

Albion responded with a shot from distance by James Tilley clipping the outside of a post.

On 81 minutes MacVicar smashed home after the ball break to him in the box and Bridges held on thanks in part to a great save by Kieron Thorp to deny Akindayini in stoppage time.
