Hythe & Dibden 1 – 3 Basingstoke Town – Saturday 15th July 2023<\/p>\n
Basingstoke travelled the short distance down to the south coast to take on Hythe & Dibden, with the notable support from the Stoke regulars.<\/p>\n
Stoke kicked of playing downhill in the first-half, and took the lead through a neat flick home from James Clark.<\/p>\n
Stoke doubled their lead via the penalty spot, after Paul Hodges appeared to get pulled down. Bradley Wilson stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way.<\/p>\n
Stoke then missed a couple of further chances, which was interrupted by a pitch invasion. The referee and Billy Upton did a fine job in removing the over eager young dog.<\/p>\n
The homeside then pulled a goal back before the break, after a fine curling free-kick beat Mark Scott in goal.<\/p>\n
Stoke started the second-half and redoubled their lead after a good header from Paul Hodges.<\/p>\n
No more goals were to arrive, despite both teams having half-chances and Stoke left Clayfields with a confident 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n
