Basingstoke & District League Match Reports from Sunday 10th February, By Tony Spencer.

With the rain last week arriving on top of the snow of the previous week, it was a wonder that only three matches were postponed on Sunday. However, six matches were completed. Two local sides, Soldiers Return, and Chineham contested this Hampshire Cup Quarter Final and it was Chineham who opened up a deserved two-goal lead at half time. However, it was a different tale in the second half with Soldiers Return dominating the second half. Ellis Hauman pulled a goal back, with his shot deflecting in off the goalkeeper. Fred Cloke then equalized from the penalty spot to take the tie to full time and penalties. It was Soldiers who triumphed in the shoot-out by 3-1. Luke Toth in goal for Soldiers saved two of the three penalties that Chineham missed. Kieron Alleyne and Samuel Ashton scored for Chineham.
