Newbington’s 5-2 victory was not a close escape, even if Solburne Villa’s two second-half goals briefly softened the outline. The visitors built a three-goal advantage before the interval, then restored it promptly when the hosts began to threaten a comeback. Solburne Villa were efficient with their limited chances; Newbington made the larger supply count often enough to leave little doubt about the result.
