Match report	A mad opening ten minutes saw Fulford's worst start to a match this season as they found themselves 4:0 down. A tactical defensive switch did the trick and we held firm until half time and managed a goal back as a pass from Matty Fairburn put Jonny Ward free in the box and he swept home at the second attempt to reduce the deficit to 4:1. In the second half Fulford showed signs of their early season form with some fantastic football. A great move early in the second half led to another goal as captain Paddy Wintie scored from six yards. A beautiful through ball fom Matty Fairburn put Ben Bloxham clean through and a great chip finish with the outside his right foot brought Fulford to within one goal at 4:3. One of many great runs from Jonny Ward down the right led to a penalty kick as the keeper off his line brought him down inside the box. Paddy Wintie struck the ball really well from 12 yards but the Brooklyn keeper made a great save diving to his left. A rare second half attack from the home side ended up with them extending their lead to 5:3. Fulford never gave up and James Wood slotted home from just inside the box to ensure an exiting finish. Rob Cowley saw a last minute shot heading for the bottom corner brilliantly saved to the keepers left ensuring the home side took the points with a 5:4 victory.
