Game 2 of today’s ’hop was just four miles south east of the first. Thankfully, the drizzle that greeted kick off didn’t last long, as apart from a strange wooden construction in one corner of the pitch, there was no shelter from the elements.

This match was far harder to call than the previous one and was in the balance right up until the final whistle. Odcombe were ahead within twenty minutes, a left footed shot beating the ‘keeper at his near post. Manor Athletic levelled it up at 1-1, courtesy of a penalty, just before halftime. Both teams could have won it, but just as it looked like we were heading for a draw, a cross from the right was diverted past his own ‘keeper by a Manor Athletic defender, giving Odcombe a 2-1 win, six minutes into stoppage time.
