I felt like this was a pretty excellent performance from front to back. We took the lead early on after Dixon was sent into the box by Jones. However we were soon pegged back after a cross from their number 9 was headed in at the back post. Their number 9 was dangerous in the first half but thankfully seemed to run out of steam going into the second half. Throughout we pressed well and as a team, Chace in the number 10 role looked far more effective, combining high work-rate with his quality on the ball.

Merstham started to control much more of the play in the second half as we looked to damage them on the counter. It was the introduction of Clements in place of Dixon, which brought the breakthrough. Danny Bassett showed great strength on the half way line and was quicker to the ball, allowing him to thread in Clements, who finished confidently. Still holding resolute in defence, Morgan-Griffiths fired into the corner from the edge of the box following a free kick.

Overall an excellent win, the energy up front and midfield gave the back four far more cover than they had against Dulwich. Special mention to Tope Fadahunsi, who had an excellent game on the right hand side - showing calmness beyond his years.
