The first clear chance came on 22 minutes when a jinking run from Williams ended with his shot being blocked on the line and cleared to Lane whose strike from 25 yards was tipped over by the keeper. Parkway continued to threaten and on 24 minutes a slick passage of play down the right between Finley Craske, Rogers and Williams saw Craske’s cross find Carter whose shot from 10 yards was cleared off the line. With Parkway continuing to control the game, on 26 minutes the busy Andrew linked well with Craske whose left footed shot was parried away by Skrzyniarz with Carter blasting the loose ball well over from close range.

Lymington continued to work hard in midfield and defend in numbers as Parkway remained patient looking to create scoring opportunities. With play going through an untidy phase, Tim Stephenson saw yellow for a foul on Andrew on 28 minutes with the visiting manager also cautioned for remarks made to the referee after being warned previously. Parkway continued to dominate possession and look to create openings but Lymington remained solid at the back restricting the hosts to a couple of long range efforts.

On 39 minutes a rare break forward by Lymington saw a cross from the left drop on to the top of the net with Moore having it well covered. Andrew and Williams then linked well to set up Billy Palfrey whose shot from 20 yards was comfortably saved. On 41 minutes a well struck free kick by Toby Bailey from the edge of the 18 yard area was deflected behind for a corner with the visitors forcing 2 more corners in their first real period of pressure in the half but still unable to unduly test Moore.

In the 4 minutes of stoppage time Parkway created 2 more good chances. Firstly Lane intercepted a wayward pass on the left, drove forward at pace and squared the ball to Williams who was unfortunate to see his first time rising strike from around 15 yards cannon back off the cross bar and away to safety. The final action saw a flowing move along the right between Palfrey, Rogers and Williams ending with Carter somehow just failing to get a touch to Palfrey’s dangerous cross into the 6 yard area.

A frustrating half for Parkway who despite dominating possession and creating a number of half chances were unable to breach the Lymington defence with the visitors content to absorb pressure, close down quickly in midfield and play on the counter.

The first chance of the second half came from the visitors with Bailey shooting just wide from around 20 yards. On 53 minutes Parkway made an early double substitution with Bath and Mitchell replacing Carter and Andrew respectively. Mitchell slotted into a holding midfield role releasing Palfrey to play further forward. The changes made an almost immediate impact as Parkway took the lead on 56 minutes. A raking cross field diagonal pass from Palfrey found Lane racing clear along the left with his quality first time cross into the 6 yard area seeing Bath time his run to perfection and side foot home from close range with his first touch since coming on. Lymington made their first change around the hour mark with George Britton replacing Callum Davies. On 65 minutes a Lymington break along the right saw a cross into the 18 yard but with no one in support, Moore was able to gather comfortably. Parkway made their final change on 66 minutes with Harrison Davis replacing Rogers who had worked hard throughout.
