Everything that could go wrong did go wrong as lack of players and lack of preparation time saw us crash to defeat.

From the moment we fell behind - in the second minute - we were struggling and although Cameron Allan, Anthony Jupp and Nic Mathers all had good efforts to draw us level, a penalty on the stroke of half-time effectively killed the game.

Chasing the game with only ten players, chances came again with Connor Denny and Rumon Ahmed getting through one-on-one but two late goals despite the excellent hard work of skipper Ryan Lawford and Anthony Jupp gave the scoreline a somewhat exaggerated look.

Pick of the second half action was James Watson's amazing goalline clearance while Ryan and Kieran Sullivan coped very well with a tricky Ockley attack.

But the visiting midfield were the main difference, winning so much ball and getting it forward.
