Fleet Town 2 - 1 Winchester City

Winchester's injury woes continued as they lost yet another goalkeeper in their 2-1 defeat against Fleet in the North Hampshire Cup Quarter-Final.

3rd choice 'keeper Stacey Harper was involved in a collision on the edge of his area early in the second half. It's believed that he has suffered snapped ankle ligaments and won't be back until next season.

Before Harper's injury, the game was relatively uneventful. A few chances for Fleet in the first half were the only moments of interest in what turned out to be a dull first half.

The second half was far more eventful. The injury to Harper saw Zac Glasspool end up in goal for the second game in a row.

Winchester made the most of the second half, creating the better chances and in the 85th minute Nathan Lynch seemed to send Winchester through to the semi final.

Fleet responded straight away though, with Mark Anderson seeming to send the game to extra time.

It was heartbreak for Winchester, as Dan Read made the most of a defensive mix up between Glasspool and Danny King, sending Fleet through to the next round.
