Horrabridge Rangers 4

Keyham Colts 4

HORRABRIDGE were a goal up after 10 minutes when Jack Northams pin-point through-ball was met by Josh Birch who beat the goalkeeper from 14 yards. Rangers then let Keyham back into the game after they failed to clear their lines and Ley poked the ball home from six yards. 

Horrabridge's midfield of Kingham, Eaton, Fry and Wright were causing the visitors all kinds of problems and Rangers regained the lead after 25 minutes when Max Burgess and Billy Rawlinson combined well to send Birch racing clear and he rounded the keeper to place the ball in the empty net.

Minutes later they extended their lead to two goals courtesy of a Max Burgess penalty after a foul on Birch.

Early in the second half they scored a fourth goal when Rangers' player of the match Taylor Kingham's inch perfect through-ball was met by Birch who blasted the ball home from 18 yards. The home side continued to dominate play creating lots of chances but were denied by some smart goalkeeping by the Keyham goalie.

Keyham reduced the home side's advantage when Sneap headed home a free-kick and five minutes later they scored again through a penalty.

With 10 minutes remaining Keyham's Sneap unleashed a 35 yard shot that flew into the top corner of the goal giving goalkeeper Oliver Cox no chance to draw level.
