Ringwood Town Res 1    Christchurch Res 3

Christchurch started well and and as the half went on you knew it was only a matter of time before we scored and the goal came courtesy of Dan Jones who slotted home well past the opposing keeper. The Ringwood keeper played his part making some great saves and because of that and poor finishing we went in 1 - 0 up.

Half - Time 0-1

We started the 2nd half slowly and after a dubious free-kick given on the edge of our area the resulting kick saw the ball bundled over the line as an own goal, 1-1. This gave us a wake up call and we heaped pressure on the Ringwood goal resulting in a penalty which Martin Lawrence dispatched with ease. Further pressure meant the Ringwood keeper was the busiest player on the pitch making four top class saves but the pressure paid off and Chris Mawer converted the 3rd with 10 minutes left and we ran out worthy winners.
