On a very cold and wet New Year’s Day, BBFC ran out easy winners in this rerun of the 3-0 upset earlier in the season.

With 5 front line players missing from the side there fine performances from periphery players, eager to impress before next Saturday’s clash with Beulah. 3rd choice keeper Gary Walsh had to play in goal and Stuart Batchelor filled an unfamiliar centre back position.

Northiam too were stretched to the point where they had to give debut appearances to the willing central midfielder Richard Ahsam and centre-back Chris Mammone.

Goals came from Bryn, Tom, and Andy Mills with an amazing brace from Owen whose red-hot boots were purchased from Darrell moments before kick off.

The only other notable incident was the ‘booking’ of Pat Mammone for upending teammate Dominic following Dom’s mid-match transfer to Northiam.
