From the kick off the game was very end to end, with both teams having chances on goal. Early on Tom was forced to make some amazing saves, but it was a lapse in concentration from the defenders that gave Cranwell their first goal. 

Church Lane didn't let this get to them and kept working at a good standard, they supported each other and Josh and Connor had a number of chances on target. 

1-0 at half time. 

In the second half the Church Lane team continued to battle hard, they worked well together and put together some amazing passes. Josh and Connor again had some great chances, but the Cranwell goalkeeper was playing well and swept them all up. 

Again, it was a lapse in concentration that gifted Cranwell another opportunity, which they took. 2-0. Church Lane continued to work hard and played some lovely football, but it was not meant to be. Final score Cranwell 2 - 0 Church Lane.

This gave the team a real boost and you could see that they were oozing with confidence. They were taking shots from all over and it was Gvins who managed to score a fantastic goal from outside the box. 2-0.

The game continued to go well for Church Lane, but Chestnut Street were putting up a good fight and the Church Lane keeper, Tom, was forced to make some difficult saves. However Connor M was next to get on the score sheet, again from some great attacking play. 3-0. 

The second half was coming to an end, but both teams were not tiring, some fabulous passing saw Gvins score his second of the game with an easy tap in. 4-0 at half time. 

The second half was underway and Chestnut Street started very strongly, they were pushing hard and showing great determination to bring this back. This paid off and they scored first.

Chestnut Street continued to battle, but the Church Lane defence seemed unstoppable. Tom again made some outstanding saves. But the game was not over, Gvins managed to chip the keeper, completing his hat-trick, closely followed by a tap in from Zak. Overall a pretty exciting game from a Church Lane perspective.

They worked much harder to win the ball and it was starting to play off...until Caythorpe scored again! 3-0, but they still did not give up. Connor C gave an a great perfomance, winning headers and tackles all over the pitch. But it was the fantastic teamwork that enabled Church Lane to pull back two goals in quick sucession. 

However the game was not over and Caythorpe snuck in another goal just before full time. Final score 4-2.
