Baffins 2 East Cowes Vics 0

Baffins sailed to a 2-0 victory under the lights against their Isle of Wight counterparts.

Pete Stiles and Matt Powell made just one change from the FA Vase triumph at Hamble Club four days prior, with Jamie Truckel starting in place of the injured Jason Parish.

Dylan Kramer in the Baffins goal was called into action early on to deny Caleb Neale's goal-bound effort, before Rovers took the lead in the Wessex League encounter.

TRUCKEL capitalised on a defence mistake and took full advantage, finding the back of the net with a low strike.

The forward was involved again five minutes before the break as he was pulled down in the box, with the referee awarding a penalty of Baffins. Oli DAVIES stepped up from 12-yards and made no mistake, scoring his first goal for the club since his dual-registration move from AFC Portchester.

East Cowes Vics could've easily been reduced to ten men on 62 minutes as the goalscorer Davies was hacked down by defender Liam Newbold in the visitors' half.

Beau Mullins - who joined on dual-registration from Portsmouth before the fixture - emerged from the bench in place of Connor Messenbird with eight minutes left on the clock to make his debut in PO3.
