Despite starting a second fixture without regular goalkeeper Noah,City were in a good state of mind following a win last time at home to Copplestone.
This game it was Sam who filled in between the posts before Josh took over for the last half hour.Both did well and had no chance with any of the five goals the home side put away,as the elite did not panic and stuck well to a game plan.
The first ten minutes were memorable though as City were three to the good without reply.The first two were through balls that Alfie ran on to with a confident finish each time.The third was a Cameron special from a direct freekick,dispatched with both accuracy and power.Even at halftime it was possible to believe that an upset was on the cards as City went in a goal to the good at 2-3.
Everyone played well in the rainy and wet,slippery conditions.The academists were physical and strong but were often matched with some slick passing moves and beating of the offside trap.Defensively City were no nonsense,clearing the lines with the minimum of fuss but in the end seemed almost to be worn down.Final score 5-3 with Man of the Match Dylan typifying the competitive nature of the City side.
