Barnham Trojans 0 Sporting Felpham 2

Jake Boase set the tone for this exciting match in the opening minutes when his shot was parried by the Felpham goalie and the loose ball was cleared just in time to prevent the follow-up.

But it was Felpham who opened the scoring when a long throw wasn't cleared and was headed into the top corner.

The second half began with a superb save from Barnham's Jamie Lambert at point-blank range and moments later another when he tipped a 30-yard free-kick round the post. However Felpham sealed their win with another header.

BARNHAM: Lambeth, Perkins, Breheny, Dobson, Wagstaff, Boase, Fortin, Taylor, Menzies, Wade, James. Sub: Richards.

Midhurst & Easebourne 6 Highdown Saints 0

It's two wins from two for Midhurst & Easebourne after a good victory over Highdown Saints.

It was a tight first half and both sides could have scored before Conner Jefferies opened the scoring from a corner and then added another to make it 2-0 at half-time.

The second half was more one-sided and despite excellent saves from the Highdown keeper, Midhurst added two further goals from Jefferies and one apiece from Alfie Coulson and Larry Moir to make the final score 6-0.

It was a good team performance from Midhurst with some good passing moves.
