Lge (A)
Won 5-2
(H/T 0-0)
Moulton travelled to Irchester without a goalkeeper, with the crippled captain, volunteering to stand between the sticks.
Game started at frantic pace, with neither team getting a footing in the game. The main talking point of the first half was the collision between Kyle and their right back, who was temporarily unconscious and taken to hospital by ambulance (returned home later in the day). Kyle was unable to continue, no matter how magic water was poured on him by his teammates, resulting in a change for both. However little in the game changed, with no real efforts on target to speak of. Moulton hitting the side netting through Davide, being the games closest effort.

After the break Moulton came out of the blocks quickest and found themselves in front through Aaron in the 50th. Only for Irchester to equaliser a couple of minutes later with their first shot on target.
Moulton were able to retake the lead in the 60th through Davide and extended their lead to 1-3 through Aaron second in the 65th.
The game then settled down and seemed to be going through the motions, only for Ted to bring their striker down in the box in the 84th minute. It was dispatched to make it 2-3 and leave the last 5 more difficult than it should have been.
A cross was overran from Davide, forcing himself wider than he hoped. He took on his full back and curled one into the opposite corner in 87th to make it 2-4. There was time for one more, as Irchester took their 5 centre, the same way as the previous 4, rolling it back to their skipper, whose poor touch, allowed Davide to rob him of the ball and run at their defence, his perfectly timed pass to Ola, allowed Ola to score his first goal of the season and make it 2-5. This only left time for them to vary their centre routine, with their skipper taking it and shooting. It resulted in Josh making his first and only save of the day.
