Stretham Sporting 5
Witchford Colts 0
STRETHAM might have expected to find the going easy but 10-man Witchford made them work hard for every goal.
Andrew Burrows opened the scoring by diverting a Connor Smithson effort past the Witchford keeper, and substitute Craig Lawrence made it 2-0 by half-time.
Stretham pushed hard and their third goal came when Lawrence scored his second. When Witchford did break through the home side's defence they found keeper Will Holmes in fine form.
The best goal of the game came after good work on the right between Kieran Pauley and Braddan Westlake, with Westlake crossing for Harry Thomson to head home at the back post.
The scoring was completed by George Carroll, who broke through the visitors' defence and gave the Witchford keeper no chance.
Stretham squad: Will Holmes, James Fuller, Greg Hine, George Carroll, Kieran Pauley, Harry Thomson, Conor Smithson, Jack Rose, Craig Lawrence, Braddan Westlake, Matthew Kerridge, Ryan Newton, Andrew Burrows, Zack Barton.
