A much rotated side walked out onto Bolitho as Curtis made several changes to his side following a demanding run of fixtures. Despite going behind following a Tom Chastery penalty, Parkway responded through a stunning Jack Matthews goal who opened his account for the Yellows in style. Despite going into the break at 1-1, quality proved too much for Exmouth as a first goal in yellow for Henry Donovan and a brilliant strike from Hayden Turner, sent Parkway into the next round of the County Cup.

Elsewhere, Basingstoke had a much-needed rest in the week as they suffered back to back away losses to Gosport Borough and Havant & Waterlooville. The Dragons conceded four goals in both games, whilst only scoring once.

However Basingstoke are not to be underestimated as the side remain unbeaten at home since their loss on the opening day of the season to Evesham United. Despite this, Curtis’s side will remain confident and will look to put this run to an end despite losing their previous game on the road at Chichester. 

The Dragons have toppled league leaders Poole Town as well as sharing the points with Bath City, the latter being a side Parkway have failed to beat this season. Despite that, Basingstoke have recorded one win in their last five matches, that win coming against Malvern Town who sit two places below them.
