Armada FC’s First Team were beaten 4–1 away at Bluepool FC in a cup tie decided by the hosts’ sharper finishing. Both sides recorded 15 attempts, with Armada’s No. 15 scoring from an assist by No. 17.

Armada lined up in a 4–3–3 with captain Lambros Pardale in central midfield. The visitors had 54.5% of possession and completed 209 passes, but 88.3% of their passes came in midfield and only 7.7% in the attacking third. Bluepool made more of their chances and forced Armada into 10 saves over the course of the match.

In the four matches preceding the tie, Armada drew 0–0 with Real Aston in the cup over 90 minutes, drew 1–1 with Sportsco FC and 2–2 with Thimblemill Rec. FC in the league, and lost 4–2 to Benson Cresconians FC.

The focus in training is on turning midfield possession into quicker, more purposeful entries into the final third. That means creating clearer chances and staying compact when possession is lost.
