Topsham town start on the attack but Brixington take it in their stride and keep them a bay and the first half ends with Brixington in the lead-0.

The second half starts and a great battle starts to unfold on the pitch as Topsham’s denfence have to work extra hard, as the ball doesnt leave their half for the first 15minutes. David Cockanye, Mike White and Callum Mcclure have three great strikes on goal but Topshams goalie makes light work of them and there saved. Due to a bit off frustration in the last 10 minutes Brixington were awarded two free kicks one off which Arnold Godbeer took, it went over the top off the cross bar and and the second David Cockanye took and it flew onto the right hand corner off the goal, widening  Brixingtons lead  to 2-0in the closing minutes.
