Lion's 1 v 2 Athletico Peartree

Lion's starting eleven: Gardner, French, Hill, Roberts, Griffin(C), Harrison, Pearson, Jeffery, Batt, Chris Anderson, Mason

Breachwood made an encouraging start. Mason made the Peartree keeper work hard to keep the ball out of the goal, but Chris Anderson was on hand to scramble the ball over the line to give the Lion's the lead.

However not long after the restart Peartree's Terry Lock was able to traverse the Lion's eighteen yard line before firing a low shot past Gardner for 1-1

Ten minutes later Captain Griffin was judged to of fouled Lock in the area and referee Paul Cloon a awarded Peartree a penalty which Lock converted.

Just before halftime Lion's thought they had equalised when Grahams French free kick hit the Peartree bar and bounced down but the referee judged that the ball did not bounce over the line.

Both teams fought out the second half but the game finished 2-1 Peartree.

A Breachwood win remains elusive.

Scott Jenkins replaced Batt in the second half.

Subs not used: D.Farr, Jordan Bender

Lions Man of the Match: Ricky Hill
