Marlborough United 1–3 Stepney FC: a tidy outing

Press

It was a tidy performance and we took our chances when they mattered. We had a few moments where we looked like we might forget how to pass a ball, but the boys stayed composed. Stewart Ashmore popping up in the 84th minute to put the game to bed was a nice touch. He has a knack for arriving exactly when the tension becomes slightly unbearable. It is a good result to have in the bag. I will not start picking out the medals just yet, but it is a step in the right direction. We have very little time to reset before the next one, so we will enjoy the feeling of the win for an hour or two and then get back to work. It is a fair result. We deserved it."
