Rai Simons Scores Twice In Ilkeston Victory
Bermuda’s Rai Simons and his Ilkeston teammates booked their place in the last 8 of the Derbyshire Senior Cup as they cruised past Holbrook Sports 8-1, with Simons scoring two of the goals.
In describing the two goals scored by the young Bermudian, the club’s website said: “With ten minutes to go Rai Simons made it five. After great play from lively Curtis Burrows down the left, he layed the ball on a plate for Simons, who couldn’t miss and tapped it home.
“Then a minute later it was six. Simons did extremely well down the right, drove into the area and played the ball to Simmons who finished the ball from around 2 yards out.
“It was turning into a rout when in the 84th minute Garnett picked the ball up 25 yards out, went past a tiring defender and released an unstoppable shot that flew in off the underside of the bar to make it seven.
“The Robins finished the scoring in the 88th minute as Rai Simons got his second of the match as he broke into the area and left the keeper no chance, sliding the ball home under him.”
