Two goals from PAUL BUTLER in the opening twelve minutes, set the seal on this encounter early on, but Bentham never gave up. They conceded again on twenty three minutes, KYLE BERRY firing home. Thackley were creating most of the chances but Bentham held out to the break.

NICKY MATTHEWS got his name on the score sheet after ten minutes of the SECOND HALF. Henriques Luis saw his penalty hit the bar and rebound to safety before substitute MATTHEW KRAUS netted a brace.

It had been another good competitive game for the Dennyboys.
