St Francis 3rd XI 1 --v-- 8 South Saxons Men's 4th XI

The away side started uncharacteristically slow, and only strong defending from Matt "Jimmy" Rigby and Saves from keeper Fergus Bruce kept then home side at bay.

A 'tactical' player switch worked wonders as a break away lead to a short corner, with Ben Kemsley putting away the rebound. The goal gave Saxons the boost they needed and got back to the passing game which they execute so well, a pass from coach Rob Whitehouse, found Julian Buss who made no mistake.

Buss scored again when Man of the Match Harry "Tyson" Dyas crossed.

The second half was all Saxons, a well worked short saw Whitehouse convert his own rebound with a reverse stick flick. 'Nimble' found Whitehouse, who's 40 yard cross field ball was collected by Dyas to cross for Matt "buzz" O'Brien to slot passed the on rushing keeper. Buss then found O'Brien who scored again from close range.

Dyas added another with a powerful finish.

There was still time for St Francis to pull one back from a short corner that sneaked in. Saxons had the final say when 'Nimble' released Whitehouse, who rounded the keeper and somehow pulled it back from the baseline for Kemsley to thunder home.
