TEMPLE SCORES FOUR AS CHI THRASH LOCAL RIVALS

James temple's four goal blitz ensured Chichester City did the league double over Pagham and kept up their county league title hopes.

City have scored nine goals over the two games against the Lions without reply.

The visitors were in control for most of the game, barring a period in the first 20 minutes where it looked as if Pagham were going to get something from the match.

Temple did take his time scoring though, leaving it until three minutes before the break to get his first. This was quickly followed by a second before Pagham trudged off to lick their wounds.

The second half continued much as the first before Temple struck with his third with just over an hour gone.

Pagham's defence had gone AWOL and Chichester strolled into a three goal-lead.

There were glimmers of hope for Pagham, with Danny Cowtan testing Chichester's resolve and substitute Nathan Parke looking lively.

This being a local derby, bookings were inevitable, with Doug Peach and Lee Bradshaw seeing yellow.

The final two gaols came in the final couple of minutes.

Temple again spotted defensive frailties before James Archer arrowed home a shot to kill the Lions off.
