Lion's starting eleven: Gardner, French, Hill, Jordan, GRiffin(C) Pearson, O.Mason, A.Jefferies, Batt, Harrison, Ben Dye
Ollie Mason almost scored within minutes of the start of the game after a run from midfield to behind the left back to receive a through ball, but saw his shot agonisingly roll across the goal and out for a goal kick.
Roebuck opened the scoring early when their forward intercepted a back pass to Gardner in goal from Captain Griffin after Griffin had done well to initially win the ball.
Roebuck scored twice again in the first half when the Lion' s were unable to stopped the ball passed in from the right of the penalty area and the forward scoring from six yards.
Despite the heavy rain, Breachwood were able to string together some good passing moves through Pearson but lacked the killer final ball to Mason and Dye up front.
The bad weather was ideal for the slide tackling of Ricky Hill
Roebuck led 3 nil at half time
In the second half Seb Lander replaced Harrison, Ed Jeffery replaced Adam Jefferies, Scott Jenkins replaced Pete Jordan.
Again Breachwood played well in patches but unable to find their killer instinct, despite some good running run from Jeffery and Batt trying to supply the forwards.
Roebuck capped their win with a forth goal ten minutes from time.
Lion's man of the match: Graham French for stern defending.
Substitutes not used: D.Farr, Rob Tumalty
Thank you to our suffering supporters.

Hard luck, guys. In that weather it was never going to be much of a spectacle of flowing football and we got a bit lucky with the wind in the first half.
See you back in Stevenage in a fortnight - looking forward to it.
