The Baggies played their fourth game in 7 days, less than 48 hrs after visiting Wembley. Manager Trevor Norris brought in fresh legs, although ten players on the team-sheet, appeared at Vale Farm. The first period belonged to The Row, with Hollamby and Argent, prolific scorers this season, controlling the action in their attacking third. Argent opened the scoring on 15 mins. unmarked in the six yard area - volleying home a Coventry cross. Badshot Lea had few chances before the interval, defending deep and looking lack lustre going forward.

In the second period, Mason Welch-Turner switched with Sean Davies, improving the balance going forward, and defensively. After a period of Baggies' pressure, Mitch Gutteridge's cross was converted by Darren Blake, evading Lloyd to level on 62 mins. With Blake, Seb Costello and MOTM Elliott Amadieu linking up well, Hartley were under the cosh. The Lea had a string of Costello corners, with Rob Parrott and Nick Grosvenor close to headed goals. On 86 mins. after a corner on the left, the ball fell to Amadieu. His first shot hit Elward, but rebounded for a second bite. The Anglo-Swede struck to give The Baggies a well deserved lead from 15 yards.

There was still time for late drama, as Sean Davies received a second yellow card inside four minutes. Deep into added-time, Liam Allen intercepted a Row corner. The keeper launched the ball to Amadieu who won the tussle with Walsh, leaving a 50 yard run goalwards. Row keeper Turner raced out but Amadieu side stepped him, rolling the ball into the empty net from 30 yards. A rewarding win for The Baggies who beat a very good Hartley Wintney side, and have set themselves up well for another three games in six days.

Commencing this Tuesday at Mole Valley SCR (Venue: Whyteleafe FC) followed by Ash United (Home, Sat.19th kickoff 3.00pm) and Farnham Town (Home, Mon. 21st kickoff 1130am). In a rare nine goal thriller at The Memorial Ground, Ash United beat Farnham Town 6-3 today, to show their intent for the Easter Week-end Programme.
