In a football match dominated by the visiting squad, a controversial penalty and some questionable ref decisions made waves.
On Tuesday evening, the Robins took to the field against Lakenheath, with Bubba Camara making his debut for Ely.
The first half was a display of the Robins' prowess, with chance after chance led to only a single goal by captain, Louis Jenkins.
The home side struggled, with little to show in terms of attack, and trailed by a single goal at the half.
The second half heated up as the Robins were awarded a dubious penalty, successfully converted by Jack Friend.
In a shocking turn, the home team was reduced to 9 men after two simultaneous red cards.
As a result, Friend and Jenkins added a goal each, bringing the tally to 4-0.
Adding to the drama, two Robins players unfairly received bookings.
Despite the controversies, the visiting team proved superior, delivering a strong performance that left the home side struggling.
This stellar performance highlighted the Robins' strong teamwork and sets the tone for their season to come.
