Basingstoke VI 0 Petersfield III 8: PETERSFIELD’S third team are just three matches away from completing an unbeaten season after comprehensively beating Basingstoke’s sixth team.

Petersfield are playing with confidence and a resolute will to win which is proving very difficult for opposition teams to defend against.

Petersfield are outclassing their opposition in attack but are equally prepared to track back in numbers and defend with determination against any sniff of an opposition counter attack.

It was not just Petersfield’s dominating style of open play that separated them so significantly from Basingstoke, but the execution of their set pieces was also clinical, with four of the eight goals coming from four different short corner combinations.

Goals from Ankers, Bott, Cooke-Priest (2) and King (4) sealed the win.

King’s four goals means he has moved ahead of the injured Street, who remains out for the rest of the season, in the bid for the season’s golden boot.

Petersfield remain at the top of the Hampshire Division 9 North (Men) table with 37 points from 13 matches this season.
