Brocton found the going tough against a well organised and strong outfit in Nuneaton Griff  who eventually took all the spoils, but had Brocton taken their early chances it could have been a different story.

Nuneaton started the game in attacking style taking the game to Brocton but it was Gary Fife, for the home side, who registered the first real chance on goal.  On a greasy surface the game was played at a good pace with Nuneaton Griff breaking quickly from defence into attack.  Langston and Harrison combined with the centre half heading just wide however Nuneaton Griff were the first to open the score when Dan Holloway scored a thundering header from a well taken corner.

Brocton’s immediate response was to head up field and launch their own attack, which resulted again in a Harrison and Langston combination with the ball ruled over the line by the assistant referee within one minute of Nuneaton Griff having scored.

This game always looked to be a high scoring affair but Brocton were destined to rue their missed chances particularly through the lively James Dyke who had two clear chances but missed on both occasions.

The second half started with Brocton showing the most likely to score and were rewarded with a penalty through a foul on Bennett and Dyke dispatched a penalty kick.  However in this end to end  game Nuneaton Griff had their own fortunate break when Jones was adjudged to have  fouled McMath just inside the area.  Fox scored from the penalty spot and it was Nuneaton who gained the  ascendancy and put Brocton under pressure and secured a further goal through James Fox on 75 minutes.

With tails up and Brocton now chasing the game Nuneaton Griff managed a 4th goal through Andy McMath from just 4 yards.  Brocton did not give up and launched a series of attacks in the dying minutes with  shots from Miller and Reeves just over the bar but with no further score.
