Again the Baptists were involved in a six-goal thriller, however this week the goals were not in favour of the away side.

Featuring many changes due to call-ups to the first team and up against a determined Pelham side for the third time in four games, the Battle side were under pressure from the first minute. Assured goalkeeping and committed defending kept the score goalless until the 22^nd minute when a deep cross was headed in at the far post.

Ten minutes before half time it was two-nil as a quick break down the host’s right ended with a straightforward chance clean through on goal. Jack then came on for Stuart just before half time.

Two goals in three minutes just after half time sealed the match. Ineffective tackling in the centre allowed the Peche midfielder to break through and loft the ball over Tim for the third, before a long goal kick was flicked on and buried for the fourth.

On the hour mark the away side thought they had pulled one back when a trademark Dale free kick appeared to be fumbled over the line by the home goalkeeper, but the referee rejected the appeals of the men in orange and play resumed.

Excellent work on the line from Doug stopped a fifth on seventy minutes, but the respite was only short as another scramble in the goalmouth saw the ball poked home. Five minutes later the scoring was complete as a superb free kick from twenty yards out was arrowed into the top corner.

The away side finished the match on the attack, with Matt having shot tipped over the bar after a great run down the right. This was a massively disappointing result given the previous match but considering the constant pressure Peche Hill exerted it was a good defensive performance by Tim and the back four to keep it down to 6.
