Phoenix Sports 0 - 4 Broadbridge Heath

Heath manager Chris Simmons changed shape and made four changes to the starting line-up for the trip to Phoenix with Louis Evans returning in midfield after suffering from Covid, Jake Lindsey & Mason Doughty returning to the starting line-up and we saw the welcome return of Sean Terry after a long term Injury.

The guys at Phoenix had worked hard to make the pitch playable after some awful weather but was a difficult surface for both sides to play flowing football.

The first chance of the game fell to Mason Doughty after 8 minutes when a good ball from Sean Terry found Doughty 8 yards out but his volleyed effort was wide of the target. But on 20 minutes the same combination ended in success when Terry found Doughty who lobbed the on rushing Keeper, his effort came back of the post but he was quickest to follow up and make it 1-0 to Heath.
The half was end to end but with few good chances until 37 minutes when a chance fell to Jake Lindsey but his shot was comfortably saved and the half ended 1-0.

Heath were forced into an early change when Ben Aubrey had to come off at half time because of injury and Sam Lemon replaced him.

The 2nd half started much like the 1st half ended until the 56th minute when Phoenix player Luke Leppard was Red Carded for a horrible challenge on Louis Evans, Heath then started to find more space on 60 minutes from a corner Tad Bromage rose highest to head home and make it 2-0.

On 77 minutes probably the goal of the game when Mutongerwa found space 20 yards out and curled the ball into the top corner to put Heath 3-0, Phoenix went down to 9 from Injury after using all there 3 subs and Heath made the game safe on 83 minutes when a great run from Callum Dowdell on his debut found Lindsey who gave Louis Evans a tap in to make it 4-0 and the Away fans going home happy.
