This was 7th versus 2nd in the league table and the last ground I hadn’t visited in the Premier Division. Crowhurst played some really good football, which was of far higher standard than you’d expect for Step 8 football. They went ahead three times in the first half to lead 2-3 at the break, in a half where Hawkhurst only had three chances, converting two of them, the second goal coming direct from a corner, in off the far post.

An early second half goal saw the visitors go 2-4 up, before they scored twice in a minute, just after the hour mark, to race into a 2-6 lead. They coasted for the rest of the game, adding a seventh goal in the last minute to round things off, a 20 yarder that gave the ‘keeper no chance.
