Adrian Brockway continued his prolific scoring form for Chichester as he claimed the second of two goals that snubbed out Wick on Tuesday night.

The Wickers – vulnerable in defence and giving a debut to reserve keeper Matt Willard – looked to be there for the taking during the first-half, although it took until the 40^th minute for Chichester to break the deadlock.  A corner from Brockway was only half cleared as far as the edge of the penalty area, where Scott Murfin was placed to drive the ball straight back and into the net.

Chichester had to adjust their formation for the second-half, with defender Ben Hitchman coming off with a reoccurrence of the foot injury that has already sidelined him for most of this season.  Wick were consequently at their most dangerous immediately after the interval, but when Brockway headed in from a Callum Cutler cross on 69 minutes it was effectively lights out for the hosts.

Darren Annis created two good openings in the closing stages, narrowly missing with one and forcing a decent save from Peter Houkes for the other, but otherwise it was all pretty tame stuff.  Wick will now be looking for revenge when the two sides meet again on 20^th April in the Brighton Charity Cup semi-final.
