The hosts led at half time courtesy of a tenth minute header by Matt Oates, but their fortune turned in the second half. A superb volley from Alfie Usher straight from the restart set The Zebras on their way. Josh Batty won the race ahead of the 'keeper to a long ball to give them the lead, then Scott Phillips was on hand to net the rebound after an initial free kick was saved. Two late goals including a header from Ben Young and an easy finish from Batty wrapped up the win.

Headed down to Katie & Lee's for a 4.30pm departure. No time for any pre-match rituals, just there and back for the match on a rare occasion, when we didn't see anyone we know.
