Poole Town 3 Histon 0

Southern Premier League

5 March 2016

In the second minute Luke Burbidge cut in from the right taking defenders by surprise and slotted the ball past the hapless Histon keeper and Poole were on their way to a routine win. With goal difference increasingly looking like an extra point it was important to emphasise their superiority. They could have added more goals but had to be content with a freak second goal as Tony Lee's corner was punched into his own goal by Histon's no. 1.

After half time more chances went begging but Burbidge put the result beyond doubt in the 60th minute taking the ball coolly past the goalkeeper before side footing home. He had a great chance to get his hat trick but was robbed at the last moment. Histon posed no threat at all and look doomed to relegation as Frome pick up points.

Verdict: Not a great spectacle and too many goal scoring chances are still not being converted but Weymouth did Poole a favour by beating Redditch and you can't get any more that 3 points. There is clear water at the top of the table again but Redditch play in midweek and Leamington away next Saturday will be testing.

Star Player: Luke Burbidge. Defenders couldn't handle him today and he took both goals well.
