A tale of 2 penalties...

Last Saturday, Brentford had the chance to go out and get the biggest 3 points in the clubs history...

The Bees had to win vs. Doncaster Rovers to gain promotion t the NPower Championship. The game had 0-0 written all over it and until the 95th minute, that was the case...in the 5th of 5 minutes of stoppage time, Brentford where awarded a penalty and it looked like King Kev O'Connor would get the chance to fire Brentford to the promised land but no...the penalty was taken by Marcello Trotta...he hit the cross bar and Donny went down to the other end and tapped the ball home to become NPower League 1 champions.

So Brentford where placed into the play-offs and where to play Swindon Town. The first leg match was played at the County Ground and at half time neither team looked the likelier to take the lead but in the second half, Town took the lead with a well taken goal. This left Brentford with it all to do...

Swindon continued to dominate the 2nd half but in the 93rd minute, the last minute of added time [remind you of anything?] the Bees where awarded a penalty and life-line...

This time there was no argument among Brentford players and Mr Brentford himself, King Kev O'Connor had the chance to score from the spot and he did not fail! 

Final score at the County Ground-Swindon Town 1 Brentford 1

The Buzz Blog's man of the match goes to Simon Moore, the young shot stopper kept Rosler's men in the game 

So here's the maths for you...

Brentford are 90 minutes from Wembley, 180 minutes and 2 goals from the NPower Championship! Get behind the boys and Beelive!!!
