Heather heap further misery on sorry Southam
The margin of victory owed as much to Southam’s poor display and failure to learn from mistakes as Heather’s good play and but for a number of fine saves from keeper Max Plackowski, standing in for the injured Nathan Carro, the scoreline could have been much worse for the visitors.
There was no sign of the carnage to come inside an even opening 12 minutes but once Rose opened the scoring for Heather, there was only one team in it.

Josh Turton and Matt Omari, both of whom are recovering from long-term injuries, came on after the interval to stiffen things up for the visitors and despite a sloppy eighth goal being conceded in the 52nd minute, Heather were then held at bay for half an hour.
However, they did eventually add to their tally, scoring in the 82nd and 84th minutes to reach double figures.
Ahkeem Rose and Leon Weller both scored twice for Heather, with Joel Ambalu, Jordan Burrows, Jake Healy, Rudy Misambo, Callum Rudd, and an own goal completing the rout.
