Hayes 2
Corinthian Casuals 0

Hayes started the game well and could have taken the lead as early as the fourth minute through Stafforde Palmer, his well struck shot being well held by Will Harvey in the visitors goal.

Again in the 13th minute the Missioners went close as a Liam Feeney free kick was just too high and cleared the crossbar. The visitors luck held out until the 31st minute when a long ball from Liam Feeney from the left found striker Adam Cornell who's subsequent pinpoint cross found Stafforde Palmer who had the easy task of slotting home our opener.

In the first half the only scoring opportunity created by Casuals was ably dealt with by keeper Adam Thomson in the Hayes goal.

Some good passing football had been played by both teams throughout the first half but the second period was to be a scrappy affair with neither side being able to dominate. However we did find the net again just before the hour mark to settle the game. Rhys Price working from wide right found Palmer approaching the box and the striker unselfishly fed Adam Cornell who was clear in the centre of goal to net comfortably.

All in all a good performance.
