If Goodrich had thought the hard work was done they were wrong, Sports took the game to them from the re start and with the impressive Lough they were carving Goodrich apart with deep runs from midfield, they should have gone in front almost immediately when Luke Paskin was up ended inside the box for what was a harsh penalty.

Mitch Lester stepped up and hit the ball well but the Goodrich keeper was equal to it and palmed the ball away.

This did not up set Sports rhythm and they went in front from another Mitch Lester corner being headed home by Matt Bridgwater from close range.

The game was sealed when Andy Blakeley cleared a corner to Anthony Cox who slipped the ball to Lee Lough he rounded the keeper and fired home.
