Brockham turned up at Leatherhead in confident mood following 3 consecutive league wins, perhaps that was to be to their detriment. Both teams passed the ball well and there was pressure at both ends but for the majority of the first half there were no clear cut chances on goal. Owen Knowles for Brockham took a nasty knock on the ankle, requiring his substitution and potentially ruling him out some upcoming internationals in Italy. Just before half time Brockham were caught with Leatherhead breaking 3 on 1 but were saved by the post.
A good build up by Leatherhead and a well executed finish gave Leatherhead the lead early in the second half. Brockham came back and pressured Leatherhead but never looked threatening enough to equalise. They were soon punished at the other end by a brace of Leatherhead goals that capped a disappointing performance for Brockham.
