Through work pressures I'd left this so late, that I wasn't going to bother, but as I enjoyed the game so much, I wanted to commit it to words.

Solly March stole the headlines after the game - and understandably - he absolutely tormented Grounds all afternoon, with a display of pace, skill and direct running. Not since Will Buckley reduced Dan Harding to tears has the Amex seen a full back found so utterly wanting. His efforts to stop March grew more desperate as the game went on, and he lasted the 90 only due to the surprising generosity of Mr Ward. The Sunday tabloid claim of a £7.5m bid from Southampton, was surely just a rehash of an old story, timed off the back of a stand-out performance, but if he continues in this manner, genuine interest will surface for sure. The Hailsham youngster over-shadowed his wing partner on the day, but the quality of Murphy's own performance ought not be over-looked - testing the City defence constantly and ultimately contributing to both goals.
