A cold morning ... and a hot start from Leatherhead but Saints coped well with Ross, Chris, Ben and Martin all standing up strongly and Josh not really having a shot worthy of note to save - mind you we didn't really trouble their 'keeper either!! The game was being fought in midfield and it was there that we failed to compete and , as a result, we failed to get play going or create any chances.
The second half was much better and we started to take the game to Leatherhead more. We hit the bar through a Martin header, Ross should have done better when trying to chip the 'keeper, Tom had a shot well saved by the keeper from a yard out and Mike had a header cleared off the line. Other than that not much else to report from this game. Leatherhead are a far stronger team than their league position suggests but we should have won this one based upon possession and the chances that we eventually had.
Men of the Match - Ross Pearn & Martin Peters
