CARDEA HIT LONG SUTTON FOR SIX

Despite the game being moved to Bushfield due to the weather it didn't take long for Cardea to adjust to the new location.

9 minutes in and a long throw into the box from Nicholson-Barfoot was flicked on by Staggs and Thomas Klinkovics improvised with an overhead kick to send the ball past the keeper and into the net.

In the 33rd minute Cardea doubled the lead, Nicholson-Barfoot whipped in a corner to the near post and Josh Staggs headed in.

Long Sutton pulled a goal back from the spot in the 38th minute when Dylan Martin was adjudged to have fouled the striker.

The two goal cushion was restored just 3 minutes later when Cam Hibbins was fouled inside the area and he stepped up and dispatched the penalty.

The scoring was wrapped up in the 67th minute when Dylan Martin headed in another Nicholson-Barfoot corner.
