With the weather at last looking like there might be a chance to play on consecutive weekends to the end of the season, Culm took to the field with one or two positional changes. Any concerns about a slow start by the hosts were vapourised after the second attack and from Daniel Hayfield's through ball, Ross Oaten got the scoring under way with just 90 seconds played. The hosts came close again from corners, mainly from the right. Shortly afterwards, Hayfield opened his account, moving to find space and then slotting home. Hayfield added a third with a clinical finish after 24' and Oaten doubled his tally on 27'. However, his hat-trick was something special - collecting the ball wide on the right he advanced towards the angle of the penalty area and let fly with a super shot that went in off the far angle. Although Broadclyst didn't rouble Culm's defence much, this was largely down to excellent decision-making by Josh Hart and his defence. In addition, special mention to a full-length save by the visitors ‘keeper who tipped a well driven shot around his right-hand post.

Five minutes into the second half and Culm had scored 3 more - Hayfield doubling hs personal tally to 4, as substitute Will Gorman scored with nearly his first touch. So Culm made changes and the incoming players did well from front to rear. Special mention to Broome who played the whole game and whose work-rate has improved tremendously. He got on the score-sheet with a last gasp strike from an acute angle but another memorable strike from close range saw the brave ‘keeper once again, not only block the ball with his midriff but also hold on. We have seen some very promising ‘keepers this season!

So a very good all-round team performance conducted by Daniel Hayfield and ably supported Ross Oaten and Macca Broome. Very good displays by Michael Winter and Aron Carpenter
