Match Report:
In one of the few games to beat the weather, Purton faced
Lydiard Boys in a top of the table clash. Purton started very slowly,
where as Lydiard Boys were quick out of the blocks, and were soon 1-0 up. This
was soon followed by another goal...2-0. Purton failed to respond and were
unable to raise their game. By half time, Lydiard Boys had added another 3 goals
to make the score 5-0.
Purton were now playing for their pride and made some
team and tactical changes. Despite still being under pressure, Purton were
now looking more solid in defence, with more bite in midfield and beginning
to create some chances. Purton played more better in the second half but
still conceded 3 goals and were unable to reply. Final score 8-0.

Coaches comments :
"The lads just did not get going today, and failed
to do themselves justice. We responded positively in the second half and
made it more difficult for them, but credit to Lydiard Boys, they played well
and deserved their win."
