We came out on top in an entertaining encounter with UWIC.  

Despite being virtually the same side that lost 6-0 to Neath on Tuesday they went at us and certainly made a game of it.

We took the lead on 13 minutes when following a Chris Piper cross John Felton headed in at the near post.  Ian Jones almost made it 2 on 32 minutes when he beat the offside trap and lobbed the ball over former Lido keeper, Brendan Cropley but hit the outside of the goal.

UWIC's Tom Morris netted after 57 minutes but it was ruled out thanks to the linesman flagging him offside.

On 65 minutes we were awarded a penalty for a push in the back on Ian Jones. He got up and put the penalty to Cropley's right but he guessed right and made a fine save.  He was unable to hold the ball and Ian followed up to net the rebound, a minute later Ian was through again and again Cropley guessed right to divert the ball inches wide.  

On 72 minutes UWIC grabbed a lifeline when Ricky Hodges picked the ball up outside the box powered his way in and hit a fierce drive wide of Scants.

Despite repeated attacks, UWIC were unable to find a second goal so we at last win at home and incidentally score for the first time ever in a home match against the students.
