Despite the visitors being less than three miles away, they struggled with their players getting to the ground for kick off. Although the match kicked off at the scheduled time, it meant there was no way of getting the full match in, so it was played as 2 x 40 minute halves and even then it was pretty gloomy when it finished at 19.55.

Twyford actually played the first three minutes with ten men, but soon had the full compliment, as well as a substitute. Within seconds of being up to full strength they went behind, but scored a good equaliser a few minutes later. Marsh Gibbon scored a header on the stroke of halftime to go in 2-1 up. The second half was poor. Twyford had a great chance to level the scores, but a good save by the home ‘keeper was followed by a quick break which resulted in the final goal of the night from the corner of the box.

The win leaves Marsh Gibbon top of the table with four wins from four matches. Twyford have three points from their opening three games.
