Despite the very heavy rain the Flackwell pitch looked in good condition for the start of the game. Town started the match playing up the slope and in the early stages both teams looked keen to press forward. There were a couple of half chances for both teams early on but Town's defence looked comfortable when the hosts attacked. It was the hosts however who took the lead in the 19th minute when Thomas worked his way into the corner of the penalty area before curling his shot into the far top corner of the goal.
Town pushed forward looking for an equaliser and Danny Webb cleverly turned past his marker just inside the box and fired in a fierce right footed shot which went just wide of the keepers right hand post.
In the 35th minute Town won a free kick just which was crossed into the box where it fell loose and Ethan Flanagan fired the ball into the net from close range.
With a couple of minutes remaining to half time Town were awarded a free kick on their left flank and when the ball was crossed into the box Bill Morgan got his head to the ball and Ethan Flanagan was quickly onto the ball and fired home from 2 yards with his left foot.
The second half was fairly even but there were very few serious efforts on goal although in one move down the left Ashton Campbell ran into the penalty area but his left footed shot lacked the power to trouble the home keeper who made a comfortable save. Six minutes from the end of the match Flackwell must have thought they were going to equalise but Connor Coulson made a superb save to keep Town in front.
Town saw the game out and stay at the top of the table for their trip to Harefield on Tuesday night before travelling to Oxhey next Saturday.
