If you were involved in the field of play you've probably aged 10 years, if you were one of the 169 spectators you've probably just seen one of the most entertaining games you'll ever see.
So the game started as it was to go on with a defensive mishaps leading to goals. The first came for Horsham after 3 minutes confusion in the defence lead to Billy Dunn being put through to slot the ball past Di Bernado into the bottom right corner. On six minutes what was already turning into a fast game lead to a break through for Peacehaven. Horsham's keeper completely missed his kick and spooned the ball out for a corner, met well by brother ton to equalise.
Another defensive blunder as Horshams left back tried to square the ball 40 yards but with no one there to receive the ball Brotherton's pace saw him charge through into the 18 yard box and bury the ball after 9 mins.
A quieter 10 minutes was broken after Peacehaven were awarded a free kick on the edge of the area. Jamie Brotherton nearly completes his hat-trick after 20 minutes but was denied by the bar. The kick off lead to a Horsham break away and somehow having got in behind the peacehaven defence they failed to equalise.
In what was to be the calmest part of the game the next 20 minutes passed with out a goal! Just before half time though what looked like a reasonable clearance from Horsham found Josh Jones out wide. He made a short run into the area and drove the ball across the keeper to make it 3-1 to Peacehaven with a comfortable two goal advantage.
The second half continued with Peacehaven starting on top and it wasn't long before McCreadie, Brotherton and Josh Jones combined for Josh to tuck the ball away at the far post for 4-1.
Peacehaven were on fire. Unfortunately it was a Fukashima style fire that lead to meltdown and Horsham launched a Pearl Harbour style attack over the next 10 minutes. Inspired by a fairly soft penalty, apparently for a nudge in the box which made the score 4-2, Horsham went on the rampage.
3 goals in 10 minutes left everyone reeling as the score was reversed to 4-5 to Horsham. The one saving grace was that the goals were pretty identical coming from Garmam and two from Jamie Cade just inside the box.
The final bizarre events of the match unfolded as a Horsham player was ruled offside just inside his half. he punted the ball to the corner flag, received a yellow card and the ref blew and indicated he would be adding more time.
Peacehaven put the ball directly into the box and won a corner. Di Bernado decided to do a Schmeichal (well why not everything else had happened) and headed for his opposite box. the first corner was blocked, the second corner was almost buried by a diving header from Craig Richards and only cleared as far as the half way line. Peacehaven broke again and won another corner before di bernado had even got back. The 3rd and decisive corner was met by Tom Lawley who buried his header to Peacehaven cheers. One lone voice started a verse of "You're not singing any more" to everyone's amusement. Finally the ref blew full time on a 5 star entertainment game.
It was the most entertaining game I've ever seen but I'll thank my stars we did this on a Wednesday night and not in Saturday's FA Cup tie with Lewes!
