The early cards made the first half busy in a way that had little to do with the ball, but Hedbury Town still found two goals before the interval and added a third through Luis Diaz after Abdoulaye Faye supplied the assist. Nilson Pires gave Newsby a response on 67 minutes, and the visitors’ four shots all reaching the target show that the goal was not an isolated accident. It did not, however, turn the contest into a genuine chase: the hosts had built too much pressure and too large a lead. Hedbury Town finished with a 3-1 win that matched the balance of the chances, if not quite their full expected return.
