Rotforkin’s most telling stretch came before the half-hour mark: three goals had already arrived by the 14th minute, leaving Ellixham Villa with a steep task and little attacking foothold. The hosts added two more before the break, then John Blais completed the scoring in the 52nd minute. The later bookings did not alter the direction of the match, though they punctuated an afternoon in which Ellixham Villa committed twice as many fouls as Rotforkin. The visitors kept working, but their solitary attempt could not disturb a contest that had settled decisively in the hosts’ favour.
