Southdown Athletic 10 - St. Francis Rangers 0

Slow start to the game both teams starting well, with Ben Seddon scoring first to make it 1-0 to Athletic, and then Sam Mitchell scoring just after. Then Nathan Nye scored with a good finish to make the score 3-0 to Athletic. Shortly after Ben scored a classy finish to make it 4-0. Sam scored again to finish of the goals for the first half. 5-0 to Athletic.

With the defence still holding off St. Francis Rangers,  Woody keeping a clean sheet and the midfield feeding the forwards into scoring opportunities, we were on a roll. Into the second half Ben launches one of his big throws into the box and Nathan heads it in. Soon after this goal Ben had a well slotted ball to him from Harry Elson and Ben couldn’t miss and into the net it went. Athletic won a corner,  Sam swung it in and Ollie got his head to it and turned it in off of a St. Francis Rangers player. Score was now is 8-0. Then a few minutes later Scottie got the ball and turned it in very well into the middle of the goal. Phil scored a great goal smashing the ball in the net from the edge of the box. Making the score 10-0 to Athletic.
