Game of two halves today. First half was dismal with the highlight being a twenty man brawl whilst the second half was much better and we won very comfortably without setting the world alight.

Really nice, friendly little ground with a great clubhouse and great playing surface but the football didn't match. The first half was really bitty with no quality from either side not helped again by a below par referee. Hastings took the lead midway through the half with Jerome Smith heading in a Sam Adams corner. Apart from that very little else either end but a couple of decent fights towards the end of the half kept us all awake.

Second half was much better and Hastings pretty much dominated without playing any free flowing football. Once again Sam Adams was the provider for a towering Razor header and he repeated it once again ten minutes later. The rest of the game was very comfortable and I cant actually remember either keeper having a save to make over the 90mins.

Positives today were an excellent debut from Ollie Rowe, Vickers back close to his best and of course Razor who was easily the best player on the pitch both defensively and offensively. And hate to be proved right about Sam Adams back on the set pieces as he made all three goals.

We still appear to lack any creativity in midfield and the service to Zac and Jack was non existent which must be a worry as the two front boys are having no opportunity to forge a partnership and really looked totally ineffective today.

But a great win today as these games are never easy and with a nice home draw coming up next i'm looking forward to another memorable cup run this season.
