Peartree Park. Ref S.Pinner

Breachwood had  couple of good early chances that fell to Ollie Mason and Richard Taaffe after some great passing movement but also both chances went amiss.

However Breachwood managed to capitalise on their flourishing start when Turkentine's through ball allowed Taaffe to beat the last defender and push the ball past the outcoming keeper into the bottom corner of the net for one nil. It was soon two nil to the Lion's when Turkentines cross from near the tight hand corner flag found Taaffe again at the back post to score.

Bedwell began to come back into the game forcing Drury to make couple of saves. However he was unable to fully hold a high ball, the loose ball was a gift for the forward to pull one back for Bedwell.

Bedwell equalised as half time approached.

In the second half Knight replaced Graham French. Despite the game being well balanced, Breachwood twice were unable to clear the ball effectively in the last third. In both instances Bedwell capitalised on the opportunities with two well taken goals to give them a 4-2 lead.

With time running out , a determined Sam Canham pulled one back for the Lions

Final Score 4-3

Ref: Dave Bailey

Some great passing movement from the Lions in the first five minutes but it was an even first half overall with the clearest chance falling to Coopers with a free kick midway in the Lions half that tested the Lions keeper who had to turn the ball round the post.

Knight replaced David Farr

In the second half Breachwood started off the stronger, great chance for Ollie Mason who hit the side netting.

It was Ollie Mason's cross by the corner flag that found the Breachwood substitute at the far post to volley into the roof of the net for one nil.

Coopers fought back, hitting the bar after congested play in the lions six yard box.

After further pressure Coopers scored from close range but was ruled out for offside.

Sam Canham flashed a shot past the Coopers post. Ollie Mason hit the corner of the post and bar.

James Mason tested the keeper from range. And the final shot of the game was from Adam Jefferies but it was straight at the keeper.
