Lion's starting eleven: French, P.Farr, Fildes, I. Turkentine, Pearson,Canning, Dye(C), D.Jefferies, Weeks, Burnage, Gardner.

In the first of four fixtures and prelude to next Sundays KLM tie,Breachwood faced Peartree at home.

Lion's started lively with shots from Jefferies and Canning testing the keeper.
Burnage hit the post form inside the box. Gardner came close with a header from a corner.

Captain Dye and Danny Jefferies kept a steady supply of passes to Burnage and Gardner up front with supporting link play from Cannning and Weeks.

Centre back Turkentine anticipated virtually every Peartree attack.

In the second half David Fleckney replaced Gardner to make his home debut after coming back from injury. He was soon in the thick of it.and he nearly scored after his side footed shot hit the inside post only for it to come back out to the Peartree goalkeeper.

Harrison replaced the injured Pete Farr and forced a diving save from the Peartree keeper with his first touch.
Lion's won a free kick on the edge of the area after Danny Jefferies had been fouled.

Burnage's free kick got a change of direction from a defensive header but only to the far post where Iaian Turkentine's diving header directed the ball into the net for one nil.

Breachwood continued to attack with Canning and Weeks on the left wing and the adventurous Pearson overlapping down the right wing.

Some resolute defending from the forceful Fildes ensured the Lion's win after a solid performance, and the first clean sheet of the season.

Manager's Man Of the Match: Iaian Turkentine.

Substitute not used: D.Farr
