Division Two

4:34pm Wednesday 2nd April 2008

Bramley United needed to beat promotion hopefuls Republic of Chineham to maintain their bid for the division two title. It was a close-run contest, firstly from his own penalty box Tom Walsh launched an 80-yard pass to Nick Stone, whose scuffed shot fooled the keeper to open the scoring; then the Republic equalised, before a neat pass from Ramsey Lewis to Tom Walsh whose shot from distance sneaked just inside the post; finally Bramley's Matt Powell's great save near the end secured the points for Bramley and virtually put paid to Republic of Chineham's promotion chance. AFC Berg scored the quickest goal of the year, away at AC Marsto s, Chris Dobby netting after just 15 seconds before completing his brace later in the half. AC Marstons pulled one back before the break, but AFC Berg increased their lead early in the second half. Then, in an amazing turnaround, AC Marstons scored four to win the match 5-3, with Jeff Nagy getting a hat-trick, and a goal added by Patrick Cook. B&NH Cricket Club Reserves beat FC Popinjay 7-3, Jason Freathy scoring a consolation hat-trick for the losers, while team-mate Brian Smith fired in a cracking own goal at the other end!
