Horsham start brightly and, in the fifth minute, a shot from the right was deflected in for Marcus Collier to opening the scoring. Five minutes later, Dan Petchey’s shot hit the crossbar and dropped for Louis Masih to tap in the first of his five goals. Within a minute of the restart the Bosham goalkeeper failed to deal with a loose ball and Masih pounced to pass the ball into the net for his second. With the Bosham defence still reeling, a ball over the top was tapped home by Masih for his hat-trick. Masih was to go off injured a minute later, being replaced by Lewis Goldsmith. Horsham continued to dominate play and, on 25 minutes, a cross from Matt Clarke was tapped in by Collier for his second. With half time looming, a mishit shot by George Hall was steered in by Matt Clarke to take the score to 6 – 0.

The second half saw several changes with Ryan Wotton, and Will Case coming on at the back. Stuart Chester moved to midfield and Louis Masih returned. Horsham concentrated on keeping a determined Bosham out of their half and it wasn’t until the 63rd minute that they added to their tally. A clearance from the Horsham defence bounced over everybody and Masih was the first to react, lofting the ball over the advancing 'keeper. With the ball bouncing around the Bosham area in the 67th minute, Masih tapped home for his 5th and Horsham’s 8th.

With a final score of 8 –0 Horsham move into the Quarterfinals and face an away tie with Fishergate Flyers.
