Exmouth United 1-3 Central United

On a blustery day it was Central United that sealed victory in a hard fought game in which both the hosts, Exmouth United, and the visitors played some nice football. Central had the early pressure and made it pay with two goals. However, the hosts held their nerve and continued to play their football. They created a number of openings and were unlucky not to have a goal by half-time.

Exmouth created more in the second half and were rewarded when Bryn Stephens chipped over a crowded defence to release Lewis Evans whose shot was parried and pushed home by Cayleb Field. It was Central who found the target next but Exmouth continued to work hard right up to the final whistle. There were some notable defensive performances from Daniel Alford and Owen Brady for the home side.
