Breachwood had couple of good early chances that fell to Ollie Mason and Richard Taaffe after some great passing movement but also both chances went amiss.
However Breachwood managed to capitalise on their flourishing start when Turkentine's through ball allowed Taaffe to beat the last defender and push the ball past the outcoming keeper into the bottom corner of the net for one nil. It was soon two nil to the Lion's when Turkentines cross from near the tight hand corner flag found Taaffe again at the back post to score.
Bedwell began to come back into the game forcing Drury to make couple of saves. However he was unable to fully hold a high ball, the loose ball was a gift for the forward to pull one back for Bedwell.
Bedwell equalised as half time approached.
In the second half Knight replaced Graham French. Despite the game being well balanced, Breachwood twice were unable to clear the ball effectively in the last third. In both instances Bedwell capitalised on the opportunities with two well taken goals to give them a 4-2 lead.
With time running out , a determined Sam Canham pulled one back for the Lions
Final Score 4-3
