Bad Night for the Reserves

Hampton & Richmond 6 Woking 0
Suburban Football League Premier
Wednesday 15th September 2010

Hampton took the lead early on against a young Woking side, their #2 striking the ball from just outside the area into the back of the net, which was just the start of a bad night for the visitors.

The Beavers had a few more chances, Matt Pegler having to save at the feet of the striker, and then saved a shot from point blank range a couple of minutes later.

Woking started slowly in this game, struggling to create any chances for the first 25 minutes. Then a good spell of pressure ended in a volley from Jack Blatchford being tipped over the bar.

The hosts doubled their lead in the 31st minute: a cross deflected into the path of their #11, who glanced his header into the bottom corner.

Half-Time: Hampton & Richmond 2 Woking 0

Hampton added another goal 8 minutes into the 2nd half, #7 scoring from the left-hand side.

The Cards nearly pulled one back in the 58th minute, Chris Richards putting a great cross in from the right which bounced just in front of the keeper, with Ola Sogbanmu running in. Unfortunately for Woking, the keeper managed to get it under control.

A solo effort from captain Charlie Turnbull deserved a goal, the midfielder running down the left, cutting inside into the box, holding off challenges from several players but his shot went just wide of the post.

A fourth goal for Hampton came in the 72nd minute, and the best one of the night, #11 running in and powering the ball home from 25 yards out.

In the 89th minute Hampton added a 5th goal, followed quickly by a 6th to end a disastrous evening for the Cards.

MOTM: Anson Cousins for his performance at left back, which included some useful runs forward.

Woking: Matt Pegler, Sammy Charles (Josh Watkins, 31), Anson Cousins, Aaron Gough, Gavin Miller, Jack Blatchford, Sean Bradley (Jack Mazzone, 84), Charlie Turnbull, Ola Sogbanmu, Alfred Ajani (Chris Richards, 54), Matt Powell
