Breachwood were under pressure from Lifestyles for sustained periods of time in the first half. Inevitablly Lifestyles scored. Their forward intercepted Turkentines clearence and returned into the Lion's net from 18 yards which goalkeeper Andy Fildes was unable to do much about .
Elliott had a chance for Breachwood at the other end from range but Lifestyles doubled their lead from a deep freekick that was headed in at the back post for two nil. Breachwood fought back, James Mason embodied that commitment.
Breachwood got their chance with an Adam Jefferies freekick chipped over the wall, Hansen missed kicked but a calm Dan Dye made sure for 2-1 just before half time.
Breachwood continued the fight back but it was end to end with both sides hitting the bar. The Lion's defensive quartet were a lot stronger in the second half , Dye & Griffin also found more space in between midfield.
Striker Martin Rees held the ball up well, followed by a well laid pass to Paul Elliott on the right wing, a low struck shot caught the Lifestyles keeper off guard for the equaliser at 2-2
Both sides had their moments. Breachwood looked more threatening from set pieces but it was set piece that was the sucker punch at the other end, a Lifestyles corner headed home from 5 yards with ten minutes remaining that gave them the 3 points with the final score at 3-2
Lions man of the match: James Mason
