From the first whistle, Stanground Cardea controlled possession, tempo and territory, delivering a ruthless first-half display that left the visitors with no way back.

Stanground Cardea’s early pressure was rewarded in the 20th minute. A dangerous corner caused panic in the Oakham box, and although Dylan Martin’s header was initially cleared off the line, the ball dropped perfectly to Charlie Webb, who met it on the volley from the edge of the box to fire home for 1–0.

Just six minutes later, the lead was doubled. A clever knock-down from Trey West found Josh Staggs in space inside the penalty area. Staggs wasted no time, rifling the ball past the Oakham keeper to make it 2–0.

Cardea were relentless, and by the 33rd minute, Oakham were undone again this time on the counter. Staggs turned provider, slipping through Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot, who struck confidently to extend the advantage to 3–0.

The hosts weren’t finished. On the brink of half-time, George Staggs produced a moment of pure quality, scoring directly from a corner, curling the ball in at the far post to send Stanground Cardea in at the break 4–0 and cruising.

The Oakham keeper produced two outstanding saves early in the second half to deny a determined Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot, briefly stemming the tide. But Cardea continued to dictate play and, eventually, the fifth arrived.

In the 80th minute, Charlie Webb, surging forward from left-back, overlapped brilliantly before drilling a low strike through the keeper to seal his brace and make it 5–0.

The scoring was completed five minutes from time. In the 85th minute, Trey West unleashed a stunning 25-yard strike into the top corner, a goal worthy of any highlight reel, making it 6–0 and marking his third goal in three matches—a fine personal run of form.
