It was not long before the visitors were level when Peter Bakers superb right wing cross was headed home by Jones.

 

There were further chances, including two for Tom Archer both from Baker's deadballs which were of the highest quality throughout the game, but the sides went in level at the interval.

 

Into the second half and going down the slope the Westies were in complete control, but as the longer the half went on you began to wonder whether it was going to be one of those days. But the patience paid off midway through the second haf with three quickfire goals.

 

The first from Jones his second of the game from an inswinging Baker Free Kick, then Jack Graham got on the act sneaking in at the back post to prod home from yet another Baker assist and then probably the best goal of the game from Matt Dadswell who latched onto a superb through ball from Andy Garman to slot home.

 

Midhurst did rally late on and notched a consolation but it was to little to late, and they remain routed to the bottom of the table, whilst Westfield consoildate there position in the ack behind the top 3.
