The goalkeeper errors of the first match had vanished, but this could have been due to the fact that Andy Debont had hardly anything to do during the match, let alone make a testing save.

The first goal came after just 2 minutes when Chris Hargreaves completed the work of both Jamie Pitman and Ian Foster who had already made attacking plays, only to have their shots saved and returned immediately back into play.

Ian Rodgerson confirmed the dominance of United 5 minutes later after driving his shot through a thick defence. It clipped one innocent defender and moved just of the the Sittingbourne keepers reach.

United were looking to their next match in the FA Cup against Brighton as they piled on even more pressure causing confusion in the Sittingbourne defence. One back-pass was hoplessly underpowered and allowed Chris Hargreaves to collect the ball and drive it past the lone keeper to seal the match.

The second half was much the same except that further goals were just not forthcoming, though not for the want of trying.

The result pleased the fans and the final whistle blew to a chorus of "Bring on the Brighton".
