Full back Jack Bruce gave Harwich the lead in the 18th minute with a 25 yard shot into the far corner of the net. Arlesford were level when Jordan Hynes took advantage of hesitancy in the Harwich defence. The Shrimpers regained the lead when following good work by Nicky and Michael Palmer, Brad Westley hammered the ball home. Arlesford's Chris Morgan evaded his marker to put his team back on terms before the interval. It was a match in which fortunes see sawed and a good finish from Luke Barnard put Harwich back in front again. Westley was a menace to the Arleford defence and an important player for Harwich and he duly notched his team's fourth goal after Arlesford had failed to convert a couple of good chances.
