Manor welcomed new signings Remi Nelson and Laide Adeyemi to the squad , brought in by Manager Kevin Durrant to replace the injured Scott Lovett and the apparently departed Jordan Childs.

The Manor were soon in control of this game against an APSA side operating with a solitary striker. New boy Remi Nelson was soon in action down the left flank and his close control and crossing ability troubled the home side. The Manor were quite prepared to pass their way out from the back and dominated the game. Following a foul on Courtney Linton up stepped Joe May to deliver a great free kick into the opposition box and Dean Frett ghosted in to head the opener after 15 minutes.

London APSA's attacks never gave the Manor defence any real problems and after a hopeful through ball was collected by Manor keeper Nick Wilson, his precise clearance was fastened onto by Remi Nelson whose excellent touch and control enabled him to glide through a static defence and put the Manor two up after 32 minutes.

London APSA were now forced to change their game plan and push forward more attackers. The Manor defence remained untroubled and half time came with no addition to the score. The visitors now had the benefit of the wind but curiously were not playing initially with the same tempo as in the first half. London APSA did start to now get into the game and Manor keeper pulled off an important save to deny them a goal. This alarm proved to be be the wake up call the Manor needed and they once again to charge when Remi Nelson had a great strike well saved by the APSA keeper but the ever industrious Dean Frett was on hand to slot home the Manor third goal on 75 minutes. Manager Kevin Durrant used his subs now for the Manor. Laide Adeyami coming on up front and Ben Thomas down the right flank.

The home side were now visibly tired and wilting. On 85 minutes, a Manor challenge up front, led to the ball breaking free to the dangerous Joe May who hit a screamer into the top corner from 30 yards to put the visitors four up. This was soon followed by a fifth and final goal when Remi Nelson latched onto a great through ball and he finished in style by lobbing the keeper.

Man of the Match for the Manor, new signing Remi Nelson whose all round ability up and down the pitch showed that he is a force to be reckoned with. Manager Kevin Durrant said, "We were at pains to emphasise to the team before the game just how important it was to keep our momentum going and apart from a spell in the second half we played very well . We are playing with belief and confidence and getting the results we deserve"
