<p>42 minutes, and Luke Reid picks up the ball in midfield.&nbsp; He drives forward and unleashes a fantastic shot at goal.&nbsp; On this occasion, however, the Acorns keeper is equal to the task and pulls off a magnificent diving save to deny Reid from getting on the score sheet.

<p>52 minutes, and Reid is involves again with the front two.&nbsp; He collects the ball and lays it wide to Murray.&nbsp; He drives forward and loops a delightful ball over to the back post, where the smartly placed Kodie nods home for his second of the game,&nbsp;extending the lead to 3 - 0.

<p>68 minutes, and this time Josh Chilvers collects the ball in midfield and decides to have a shot.&nbsp; He's at least 35 yards out, and unleashes a screamer, only for that to crash against the bar.&nbsp; Both he and Lewis were unlucky not to get something from both of their superb attempts.

<p>71 minutes, Luke Reid takes the ball down the left.&nbsp; He pulls the ball back across the box for Josh Murray to put away.&nbsp; However, it was deemed offside, although we're not sure where.&nbsp; A minute later, and Kodie has a great shot from the edge of the area, only to see the very good Acorns keeper tip it over the bar.
