Fairlands from Division 4 started the game with a goal advantage in the renamed Invitation Cup
Breachwood looked to claw back the deficit straight from the kick off. After a couple attempts on goal, Ollie Mason converted to get the Lion's game going.
Harrison poached a brace followed by another goal from Ed Jeffery.
Despite their superiority in the game, Breachwood laboured some of their chances.
Pearson had a couple of great shots go wide. A couple of corners and crosses from Roberts went unconverted.
Fairland stuck at it and nearly scored from a free kick if Gardner hadn't got down low to turn the ball round the post for a corner.
Lion's led 4-1 at half time.
In the second half Ben Dye returned replacing Harrison. After a failed bicycle kick Ben score fifteen minutes later, side stepping the ball past the Fairlands keeper.
Nathan Batt replaced Jeffery and worked well ahead of the sturdy Pete Jordan.
Scott Jenkins replaced Spencer Roberts. as Adam Jefferies pushed further forward and continued to create chances with Dan Dye in midfield.
Ten minutes from time Ollie Mason scored his second with a well taken shot low past the keeper into the bottom right corner of the net.
Final score: 6 nil to the Lions on the day but 6-1 in the tie. Breachwood go second in the Invitation Cup league phase of the competition on goal difference.
Rollin back the years ! February 2008 was the last time Breachwood won two games in a row and December 2005 since the Lion's kept two clean sheets in row!
