Basingstoke secured their place in the next round of the Hampshire cup with a 3-0 victory in a game they controlled for the whole game.

Kitteridge, Pratt, Williamson, Hankin and Laidler Where rested and were replaced by Craig Atkinson (GK), Lewis Christon, Ian Jones, Jordan Lumsden and Ryan Stephens.

Downes opening the scoring after 27 minutes when he picked the ball up inside the half and remained un-challanged and passed the ball into the back of the net from around 20 yards out, 53 minutes gone we made it 2-0 after we won and scored a penalty after Stephens was brought down and Ryan himself completed the scoring twenty minutes later smashing the ball past the keeper from close range.

Hopefully this proved a good confidence boost after last Saturday before Saturday's big FA Cup match against local rivals Eastleigh.
