Report

Ben Penfold scored his 100^th goal to help QK in their bid for the league title push. The game was lively from the start but QK made the early breakthrough after  just 4 minutes when Andy Wood made a jinking run in from the right flank but was bought down in the penalty area. Penfold took the kick to register his century,  Otterbourne fought back and the game wnet end to end with QK just slightly the better side. Then in the 24^th minute, Martyn Randall was dispossessed of the ball and Aaron Milne ran through  a static defence and shot to the left of the keeper to level the scores. The Otters felt like they were in with a chance and were capitalising on some uncertain defending but did not take their chances and this was their undoing, when in the 43^rd minute, Mike Nailor made a darting run down the right and put a cross in  for Dan Smith to shoot. The ball hit the post but Smith had followed in to make sure the ball went in. And that was how the half ended with QK the better off by 2-1. The second half was a very lively affair with QK again just edging it but not taking their chances, so it was Otterbournes fortune that when they harrassed the QK defence, the QK keeper failed to hold a shot and Milne was on hand to capitalise and score to make it 2-2. Manager McManus made a tactical change at thiss point and bought on another forward Ryky Pomery. This proved to be a masterplan as in the 76^th minute, when the ball was slipped through to him, Pomery looped the ball over the keeper and into the net. This proved to be the winner for the home side, but Otterbourne did not go away too disappointed as they put up a good fight and could even have won this game with a bit of luck.
