Chris Elliott then ensured West Wight made it through to the next round with a goal in the final minute (2-4) After the match, opening goal scorer Ash Brett said:
“We weren’t at our best and should’ve scored more goals but this season we’ve found a way to grind out wins even if we’re not playing well so that’s really pleasing. We’ll need that if we’re to go far in this competition and be competitive in the league for the rest of the season.” West Wight celebrate taking the lead
