FHP continue to set the pace with a 2-0 win over Farnborough

FHP continue to set the pace at the top of the division, but the win against lowly but tenacious Farnborough wasn't an easy stroll. The FHP manager was forced to make a number of changes, as key players were unavailable for selection. Fortunately he had adequate players to call on, (Slav & Matthius returning from injury, and a call up from the reserves) .
From the start FHP showed their intent and quickly took the lead within 5 minutes with a good strike from Sinclair within the box. The home side had other opportunities to double their lead, but squandered those chances.FHP clearly were the stronger side in terms of quality and technical ability, as they retained possession of the ball a lot neater, Stan took his responsibility well as he controlled the midfield, but Farnborough worked extremely hard and were a tough nut to crack. They themselves created a number of goal scoring opportunities, but were denied by a combination of solid defending and good goalkeeping from Vlad.
