Cranes toppled by Exiles 

Exiles took the game to their visitors Ipswich Cranes from the start, spurning a number of opportunities before leading marksman Dan Cheeseman found the back of the net from close in.  Rob Panter returning to the side for only his second game since January dispatched two perfect bullet-like penalty corners into the visitor’s goal to consolidate their lead before the break. Exiles started the second half with some conviction with Cheeseman firing in two powerful strikes in succession to claim yet another hat-trick, his fourth of the season. An unstoppable flick from Robbie Dix, their sixth goal really opened the floodgates as Simon Nisbit, Exiles captain set up Mark Varley for a seventh. Cranes somehow pulled a goal back but Exiles response was swift incoming as Will Mullen raced through the Cranes defence to fire in an eighth. Wing back Sam Brewster set up Robbie Whiting for a ninth and then completed the rout himself with a late tap-in.
