Thankfully 'Young' Kev Murray didn't make it.

Only Strang, Martin, Bowden and Michael unavailable.

First twenty minutes pretty even, and a break down the wing allowed Nik Akerman to steer a very good lobbed shot in from a tight angle, just outside the box.

Tourists back in contention with a Woosey headed goal at 4-2, and shortly afterwards a Nik Akerman cross/shot/scuff (de;ete as appropriate) led to a Woosey second, this time close range with a foot. 4-3, and shortly afterwards a contested penalty was not given.

Woosey on the end of a Prentice cross headed number three, and an untidy 7th concluded the scoring. 7-4. Ant Gray led the line well, and deserved his goals.
