Report

The Boys showed early intent as Max delivered a tough tackle to win the ball in a game that began at a frantic tempo.

Barney dominated in midfield before AIDEN was bright enough to capitalise on an indecisive clearance to put Brampton ahead.

Only moments later that same player linked with Kane to threaten, a move matched by Alex and Nathan shortly after.

NATHAN then got his name on the scoresheet converting a pinpoint clearance from Picko who demonstrated trademark strength to gain possession.

Well on top the lads produced the kind of passing football of which they're capable, with Barney and Ryan especially catching the eye.

However for all their endeavour the away side were reminded to be on their guard when Brimwood proved how dangerous they can be by scoring and getting back into the game.

Thankfully John and Jack epitomised Brampton's spirit with commanding performances allowing their team to reassert itself.

After excellent work by Aiden and Ryan, NATHAN restored the advantage, receiving a through pass with his back to goal, then turning his defender before firing a shot into the left corner of the net.

Some really attractive flowing football then produced a fourth for the Blues as RYAN turned Alex and Nathan's superb link-up play into another goal.

Continuing to impose themselves it wasn't long before Brampton secured a fifth, ALEX pouncing onto a loose ball after Aiden's powerful corner.

The half ended with a magnificent back-to-front move involving Picko and John before Alex went close to scoring again.

The second period started as the first had ended as Jack's slide-rule pass saw Ryan and Barney pose problems.

The home goal was now peppered with opportunities whilst the Brimwood 'keeper pulled off a number of high class saves.

Max launched a dynamic run towards goal allowing Kane a chance to increase the lead, then Aiden, Barney and Alex also saw shots narrowly miss.

The inevitable sixth arrived thanks to Aiden's strapping sprint into the penalty area, his subsequent cross hammered home by NATHAN to complete a fully deserved hat-trick.

The semi-fit Reegan bravely took to the field and soon began to dictate play from midfield, this gave Barney the time to embark on a mazy run.

The Boys didn't have everything their own way though as the home team launched occasional raids forward meaning Brandon had to be at his talented best.

Jack switched into midfield and pressed forward impressively as Brampton sniffed more goals, whilst Max's non-stop efforts then Nathan chasing back a full fifty yards to snuff out an attack underlined the whole team's attitude.

After the frantic opening the Boys settled to produce an encouraging performance, passing well and making use of the large pitch, against a game and sporting Brimwood side.
