An extra-time onslaught from Caversham, and a hat trick from Patrick Fleming, saw it oust Ferrymead Bays 7-3 in the Chatham Cup quarterfinals in Christchurch today equalling the Dunedin club’s best run in the 87 year old competition.

Caversham, who had enjoyed lop-sided wins in each of its three previous fixtures, were given their toughest test so far and were just two minutes from elimination when Fleming scored his first of the match to level the scores at 2-2 and send the game into extra time.

Drew Sherman had twice given the home side the lead, first in the 3rd minute and then again from the penalty spot in the 75th minute.

Robbie Deeley earned and converted a 30th minute penalty for the visitors’ first equaliser and then netted another spot kick early a minute into extra time for Caversham’s first lead of the match.

Chris Murphy restored parity with a 95th minute header but two more goals to Fleming, including a stunning 100th minute free kick, and a double from substitute Seamus Ryder rubberstamped Caversham’s third appearance in the Chatham Cup’s final four.
