Heybridge Swifts 0 Purfleet 2

LINGERS AT THE DOUBLE

"We were excellent and played at a high level of pace. In truth we should have buried Heybridge" was how Purfleet manager described the game and who could argue.

Purfleet were attacking from the first minute, with Linger and Bowes prompting from midfield and Simpson and Vaughan working hard up front.
In the 38th minute Jamie Southern crossed from the left and linger, arriving late in the box finished first time into the bottom right hand corner.

Fleet continue to press after the break, with Heybridge only threatening occasionally then in the 62 minute linger picked up the ball in the centre circle and powered forward and smashed home his second of the night form fully 25 yards.

Colin made a few substitutions which saw linger pushed even further forward in search of his tat trick Linger blazed over after being put thorough in the right hand channel and he again lost his composure after Vaughan crossed from the left and he rushed his shot.
