Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Bognor Regis ran out comfortable 4-1 winners over Havant & Waterlooville in this Club Friendly, with Mitch Aston the standout performer for the hosts despite the heavy defeat, as Bognor now prepare to face Eastleigh next. The scoreline flattered the visitors in a first half that offered little until a 41st-minute opener gave Bognor the lead against the run of play.

The game turned decisively in the second half when Bognor struck again in the 49th minute, and though Ryan Seager pulled one back for Havant & Waterlooville three minutes later, any hope of a comeback was extinguished by two further Bognor goals in the 74th and 88th minutes. The hosts had no answer to the visitors' clinical finishing after the interval.

Havant & Waterlooville controlled possession with 56% and won four corners to Bognor's one, yet they were outplayed on the scoreboard by a side that made far better use of its chances. Mitch Aston was the highest-rated player on the pitch with a 7.26, an admirable display in a losing cause from what the data suggests was a defensive or midfield role. Bognor Regis now turn their attention to a friendly against Eastleigh on July 28th.
