Report
Havant & Waterlooville came out on top in an extremely competitive game played in difficult conditions. An even first half saw both teams with few chances that neither took. The second began much the same but as the game went on H&W started to wear down there opponents and the attacks came much quicker. Late on H&W were awarded a corner that Danny Cosgrove floated into the area and was met with a strong header from Ryan Searle that the keeper could not keep out. Fleurs came back but strong defending and good keeping by Lewis Roberts kept them out. Late on H&W could have had a second but for a good save from the Fleurs keeper.

Report:
In an exciting game honours were even between local rivals Havant & Waterlooville and Waterlooville Boys. H&W tried a new formation allowing some of the boys (who have been on the sideline a lot this season) their chance to shine and that they did. The first half saw Waterlooville take the lead after a defensive error. H&W struck back with Paul Hooker being released through the middle and then being brought down by the keeper to earn a penalty that Danny Cosgrove slotted home with confidence. Just before half time Waterlooville Scored again to lead at half time 2 - 1. H&W made four changes but their style of play never changed. They put early pressure on Waterlooville and after some great work and exquisite passing Ashley Fisher scored the equaliser. H&W kept pushing forward but were caught on the break for Waterlooville to take the lead for a third time. This did not stop H&W who kept pushing with some excellent football. Again some great interlink passing and good movement found Fisher in the box to score his second and the equaliser.
