Referee Tony Harrington oversaw the match with authority, ensuring a smooth flow throughout the 90 minutes plus added time.

Old Stamfield lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying a balanced setup designed to control midfield and exploit wide areas. Alex Dos Santos guarded the goal, supported by a back four consisting of Rory Stride at right back, Taiwo Ejuke and Eduardo Fuenzalida as central defenders, and Florian Sarosi on the left.

The substitutes available were Romeh Serratton, Sam Miller, Eduardo Camavinga, Rio Ngumoha, and Trey Nyoni.

At 16 minutes, William Wilngrove delivered a precise short pass inside the box to Hugo Lamy, who calmly finished with his right foot to open the scoring. The visitors’ confidence grew, and just six minutes later Rory Stride’s cross found Dominic Wilkinson, who tucked away a close-range finish with his right foot, doubling the lead.

Just before the break, at 45 minutes, Hugo Lamy capitalised on a goalmouth scramble to score his second of the afternoon from close range, sending Old Stamfield into the interval with a commanding 4-0 lead.

Old Stamfield’s relentless pressure paid off again at 64 minutes when Rio Ngumoha replaced the prolific Hugo Lamy, who had already bagged two goals. Just four minutes later, Eduardo Camavinga marked his introduction with a close-range tap-in, assisted by Romeh Serratton’s precise cross, further humiliating the Wolves defence.

The visitors continued to rotate their squad, with Trey Nyoni coming on for Eduardo Fuenzalida at 77 minutes, maintaining the team’s intensity and shape. At 83 minutes, Romeh Serratton once again provided the assist, this time crossing for Florian Sarosi to score with his left foot inside the box, adding to the growing tally.

As the match entered injury time, Old Stamfield’s William Wilngrove completed his hat-trick with a stunning right-footed strike from outside the area, assisted by Rio Ngumoha’s cross, sealing an emphatic 8-0 victory.
