This however made slaz wake up and were soon creating chances of their own and after 15 minutes play slaz got their first goal, Neil Crouch dribbled past two Lincoln player into the ‘D’ and passed to Simon Randall to slot the ball home.
Lincoln then started putting pressure on slaz again and they nearly scored but slaz keeper, and man of the match, Giles field made some outstanding saves to keep them out. After slaz absorbed Lincoln’s attacks they scored their second and third goals. The second was set up again by Neil crouch who charged at the ‘D’ passed the ball to Byron Dean who drew out the keeper and passed to Jake Barras who tapped it in. The third was started off by Anwar Al-Khaili who passed the ball back to Neil Crouch who ran at the ‘D’ and passed it off to Simon Randall to score his second.
