Marden Goal 29min 1:0
Ashford Penalty Corner resulted in a fierce flick which was well saved by keeper Matt Scrase.
At half time Southwick had hung on to Marden and were still in the game but the heat and lack of substitutes were going to cost them in the second period.
Half time - 1:0
Marden Goal 43min - 2:0
From a bouncing cross a first time touch in from the edge of the ‘D’ was excellently finished by Marden giving keeper George Davis no chance in goal.

Southwick Goal Rob Lowe 45 min - 2:1
Fine delivery from Chris Candy fond Rob Lowe in the ‘D’ and his deflection beat the Marden Keeper
