<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Memories of the 10-3 victory at Ullathorne earlier in the season were a distant memory but avoiding complacency would be important to ensure a new winning run was extended.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">There would be little chance of repeating the scale of victory as ARYPT were a far tighter unit defensively this time around.&nbsp; Affinity had most of the play in both halves and were rarely troubled defensively.&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Affinity didn't have to wait long for the first goal scored by Mike C after a fine pass across the penalty area from Ian. Making good use of the space down both wings Affinity created a number of further chances and added a second minutes before half time with Jamie finishing well after fine work on the wing from Luke. &nbsp;An injury to Steve M ended the half on a worrying note for Affinity.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The second half saw ARYPT more on the front foot but without any reward for their endeavor. Steve M sensibly decided to rest his ankle leaving Steve G and Josh S to sure up the defence for the rest of the game. Lee replaced Steve for his first game since November and it wasn&rsquo;t long before he made space for himself and ended the game as a contest with the third goal.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">This was a solid team performance building on the cup win the previous week. Man of the match goes to Luke with a fine contribution down the left.
