Horrabridge Rangers 3

Morley Rangers 1

Horrabridge started quick out of the blocks against a well organised Morley side and could have scored several goals in the first 10 minutes of the game but found themselves guilty of some wayward shooting combined with some good goalkeeping.

Morley opened the scoring after 15 minutes when South headed home from a corner.

The home side responded well and scored three goals in the space of five minutes.

The first came when Josh Birch linked up well with Alex Madar to score from 10 yards and Birch then repaid the favour when he sent Madar racing clear to fire past the keeper from 12 yards.

Birch then unleashed a thunderbolt from 25 yards that flew into the top corner of the goal.

The second half was again controlled by the home side who continued to pass the ball well but could not find away past the Morley keeper — denying Birch, Rawlinson, Burgess and Fry.

Towards the end of the game Morley started to apply pressure on Horrabridge but the defence of Glanville, Northam, Ryder and Ross were in top form and aided by a wonder save from goalkeeper Oliver Cox kept Morley at bay to pick up all three points.

Elm Utd 2

HORRABRIDGE started the game at blistering pace and opened their account after five minutes when Josh Birch latched on to Courtney Fry's through ball to round the keeper and score.

Birch then grabbed his second minutes later when he volleyed home Fry's pin-point cross at the near post before Elm then scored two goals themselves in quick succession courtesy of a good free-kick and a Presland strike.

Horrabridge regained the lead when Birch reacted quickest in the box to score from six yards to complete his hat-trick and minutes later Birch grabbed his fourth when he collected Max Burgess's through ball to fire past the keeper from 16 yards. Billy Rawlinson completed the first half scoring when he was sent racing clear by Jack Northam to calmly slide the ball past the advancing keeper.

Horrabridge continued to play some outstanding football in the second half and Billy Rawlinson added his second five minutes after the restart. Josh Birch then scored his fifth and Aaron Johnson also got on the score sheet courtesy of a super strike from 20 yards. Elm were indebted to their keeper Jack Brown who made several smart saves during the course of the game to deny the Horrabridge attack. Further goals scored by Max Burgess and Aaron Johnson rounded off a good display of football from the home side.

Horrabridge Rangers 4

AFTER a long period without playing matches, the game started hesitantly with both teams having chances and defending well, including some good keeping from Max Koch and defending from Henry Dandy.

As half time approached the game swung Thistles way, as a strike from Morgan Warnett broke the deadlock.

Horrabridge came out fighting in the second half and soon equalised, but this only served to fire up Thistles as Warnett was on hand to divert a shot past the Rangers keeper. Thistles were now on a high and dominating play in every area of the pitch. Further goals from Dylan Metcalf and Billy Walker took Thistles to 4-1 lead with 10 mins to go. With the game in the bag Thistles took their foot off the gas, but Horrabridge had other ideas, and three late strikes saw Adam Thyer complete his hat trick and Rangers steal a point.
