Right from the off Matt Bulley’s side were on the attack and Felpham Colts Youth showed their intent in playing with a lone striker and the rest of the team behind the ball. The first half consisted of numerous chances for Horsham with Felpham being kept in the game by a series of fine saves by their 'keeper. Matt Clarke had a couple of good chances before being replaced by Josh Clack on 17 minutes, Dan Petchey also had several decent long range efforts saved before going off to be replaced by Sam Bulley on the half hour but, despite playing some fine passing football, the young Hornets were unable to break the deadlock.

The second half saw more changes with Petchey coming back to replace Daryl Jeeves and, 5 minutes into the half, Clarke came back to replace George Hall. This change was to bring about the first goal as Clarke chested down a corner by Bulley to give Josh Clack an easy finish. Masih had 2 chances saved, 5 minutes later, and then 22 minutes into the half Tom Blown replaced Stuart Chester at the back. Just after the change Felpham had a couple of chances, which were comfortably dealt with by Kieran Towse. Once settled the defence weren’t troubled again.

With 60 minutes gone Horsham doubled their lead when another corner by Bulley was headed home by Petchey and the remainder of the game saw Felpham rarely venture out of their half and continue to frustrate the young Hornets.

With their 2 nearest rivals not playing this moves Horsham 10 points clear still with a game in hand over Fishergate Flyers
