Purton man of the match :  

Match Report :

Purton Cubs never got to grips with a small, narrow hard pitch. From the first whistle, their play was scrappy, with little chat and poor passing. Cubs soon fell behind from a long shot, this was soon followed by another long shot. Despite improved play and pressure Cubs were 4 - 0 down at half time.

Purton started the second half with more attacking play and press but again conceded another early goal. Purton went close on a number of occasions until eventually scoring with a left foot shot from Josh Harper...5 -1. Although Purton managed to create more chances, they never managed to cope with the physical presence of the Brunel Boys and eventually lost 8 - 1.

Coaches comments :

"A very disappointing result and performance. Physically my team were outplayed today, and Brunel made the pitch work in their favour. A lot of lessons to be learnt today, which is not a bad thing."
