After another rainy week and a surprising snow flurry in the morning, Prime decided to get a game in by switching the game to Revolution's plastic pitch.

With just 11 fit players available plus a hobbling Goldsmith as sub/linesman, manager Sykes decided to use his pace on pitch - throwing the keeper's gloves at Tom Buckland (which he probably dropped!). Rich Davis became Prime's oldest ever player by starting at right-back with Barnham, Henshall and Cary making up the back four.

It was a strong-looking front 6 with Abu and Westcott flanked by Sykes and Taylor with Siekanka and Ferguson up front.

Prime shot themselves in the foot immediately as a long ball eluded both centre-backs and Revolution's striker rolled the ball past a helpless Buckland.

Buckers then did well to tip 2 shots from distance onto the bar but it was by no means one way traffic with Sykes causing problems down the left and Ferguson and Siekanka both spurning good chances.

But Buckers' good work was undone when he topped a goal kick straight to their striker who rolled the ball home.

It was 3-0 at the break as Revolution's midfielder strolled virtually unchallenged through the Prime defence to slot home.

Prime switched Buckland out to left-back for the second half with Barnham filling the keeper's top (literally!). He started really well with a couple of blocks with his legs and a fine smother at the feet of the Revolution striker

The Numbers then suffered a massive blow when a strong but fair tackle from Revolution's right-back left Sykes writhing in pain and his troublesome ankle swelled up immediately.

He tried to give it 5 minutes for the pain to lessen but eventually he faced facts and Goldsmith hobbled on to simultaneously become the tallest and slowest left-winger ever!

Prime showed good spirit to pull a goal back from a corner when Cary's header was nodded home by Ferguson who netted his 3rd goal of a tough season.

Prime's joy was short-lived though as Revolution scored 2 quick goal from overhit crosses which both sailed over Barnham and into the far corner.

Things went from bad to worse as a mis-hit shot from 25 yards looped towards Barnham and the spin was too much for him to keep out, then Revolution's striker wriggled through and his weak shot squirmed under Barnham and into the net for 7-1.

Cary became Prime's 3rd keeper with 5 minutes left and he still found time to concede a goal and (to be fair!) to make a good one-on-one save.

The final whistle came, to Prime's relief, soon after. The lack of a recognised keeper probably accounted for at least 5 of the goals and unbelievably Prime played some good football at times and the scoreline did not reflect their efforts.
