The Winchester futsal 2nds came out victors on derby day against the Winchester 1sts, securing their first points of this league campaign and making history in the process. 

Coming into the fixture, the Winchester 1^st team had claimed their first three points of the season with a win over the Bristol 2s.

Meanwhile, the Winchester 2^nd team were yet to pick up any points after facing the Southampton 1sts both home and away, losing both fixtures. 

With tensions high, the 2s kicked off the game and immediately looked to get on the front foot.

And within just nine seconds of play, their quick start was rewarded, as Sash Jayasinghe slotted home the first goal of the afternoon. 

The 2^nd team kept their foot on the gas after taking the very early lead, and continued to mount the pressure on the 1sts.

The hard work of 2s once again paid off, as Jayasinghe was able turn his man and power a shot past backup 1s ‘keeper Harry Scanlan.

And Jayasinghe continued his strong showing by netting his third and securing his hat-trick only five minutes into the game.

This was shortly followed by 2s vice-captain, Sam Friday, chipping the ball past Scanlan, to put the 2^nd team in cruise control a quarter of the way in. 

After falling four goals behind, the 1sts took a timeout to reconvene and strategize their way back into the game.

And the team talk seemed to have worked, as Corey McDowell finished off a beautiful solo run calmly, and James Lowcock smashed home from close range to reduce the deficit to two goals. 

However, Tom Briggs would peg the 1s back just before the break, as he fired in a half-volley from a tight angle; the score at half time was 5-2 to the 2s. 

The second half started with the 1s restoring their two goal deficit, as a back heel from Matt Pollard set up a chance that snuck past Sean Thompson in net. 

The game then became increasingly tense, as challenges from both sides flew in all over the pitch, including Jayasinghe putting in a late challenge on 1sts defender Sam Cunningham, resulting in the 2s striker receiving a yellow card.

And seconds later, he would put in a late challenge on McDowall, and while avoiding a red card, he gave away a 10m penalty to the 1sts for the 2s 6^th team foul. 

Cunningham stepped up to take, but saw his effort saved, but the rebound was leathered home by Toby Thompson to put the 1s just a goal behind. 

However, with the 1^st team focused on getting back level, the 2s took advantage of their lack of defensive awareness and bagged three goals in quick succession to secure their first points of the season and make history by beating the 1^st team for the first time ever in the league.
