The remaining 1st half goal came courtesy of 16-year-old Kian Vickery in the 39th minute.

In the 2nd half, Burg took their foot off the gas, with their only further goal scored by Jack Davies in the 52nd minute.
Full time: Vectis 0-7 Osborne Coburg
After the game, Josh Woodnutt said on behalf of Osborne Coburg:
“John Sivier and myself demanded intensity, work rate and commitment after recent defeats, and today was a performance we always knew we had when we have 90% of our first team available.
“Now, we’ve set the bar for minimum expectation every matchday.”
Burg’s win leaves them 6th in Harwoods Division 1, with 9 points from 7 games. Vectis are 8th with 7 points from 9 games.
