Match Report:

Purton started the game quickly and soon went into the lead with a drive in a crowded goal area from Josh Harper. The lead was soon increased when Kieran O'Driscoll finished off a fine flowing move to keep his current scoring streak going. Purton's lead was reduced when Blunsdon scored from a left foot drive, but their two goal cushion was restored when Dale Crabbe scored from just outside the 18 yard box. Purton continued to press forward and looked dangerous on every attack. Before half time, Kieran O'Driscoll completed his second hat trick in three games, the last goal coming from a superb finish with a looping shot over the Blunsdon goalkeeper. Half time...5-1.

Purton continued to create chances but with less frequency. They visibly took their foot of the gas and as a result conceded two goals in the second half. Final score 5-3.

Coaches comments :

"The first half was easily our best football of the season. They played some lovely football, attacking from the back and switching play. By half time, the boys thought that the game was easily won, but even though I warned them, they stopped playing the football that had got them the lead in the first place. That makes three consecutive wins, and unbeaten in six. Well played lads."
