An excellent game only marred by some strange refereeing decisions! Tigers raced into a 2-0 lead following goals from Rhys Potter and a superb header from Jordan Toll. The game turned on 25 minutes when goalkeeper Edward Holmes was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity following a handball outside his area, when it was clear that there were covering defenders in play. Rodeheath pulled a goal back soon after - 2-1 at the break.
Rodeheath took the game to Tigers in the second half, and raced into a 3-2 lead, only for Rhys Potter to score his 5th of the season with a fine touch and finish.
The game pivoted on another refereeing decision half way through the second half. A Tigers shot was parried by a defender with what looked like his hands, however the ref let the game go on - Rodeheath cleared the ball long and at least 2 of their strikers looked clearly offside, however play was allowed to continue and they lobbed the ball over sub goalie Joran Batho's head. Despite late pressure Tigers could not claw the deficit back, and will count themselves unlucky not to have taken something from the game. Man of the Match - Edward Sykes for an excellent defensive display.
