Perhaps the news of the death of Dan Hill's dad, received on the ferry crossing, had an effect on the performance of those players who knew the family well over the years but it was a lacklustre show overall that was made worse with what looked like a serious ankle injury to Steve Brown early in the first half.

Ben Whiter brought us back level in the first half but somehow still ended up 2 - 1 down at the interval.

Going downhill and with the wind in their backs in the second half, Brading added another three to put a poor reflection on the final result.

FA Cup beckons with big hearts to the fore!
