An excellent second half performance from playoff contenders Farnborough Town saw them deservedly take the points. The first half was an even affair with Steve Harper unlucky not to open the scoring after only 4 minutes when his shot was saved after Garry Cross’ clever flick. After 20 minutes Farnborough were unlucky when Carl Gibbs shot well over from Matt Warner’s deep cross. After that the first half was fairly devoid of chances as 0-0 seemed a fair score-line.

The second half saw little in the way of chances until Steve Laidler unleashed a mighty 25 yard shot straight into the top corner giving Knight no chance. Four minutes later the lead was doubled and the game over as Gibbs ran past a number of challenges and clipped the ball over the onrushing Knight. Thurrock tried to get back into the game but Farnborough were far too smart and experienced to let a big lead slip.
