Hambridge took on King Ina In their first league football match of the season.
King Ina dominated the opening four minutes with shots coming in from every
direction. Luckily Joel in the Hambridge goal was equal to everything they
threw at him. In the fifth minute however King Ina’s pressure paid off and they
duly took the lead. Hambridge took the centre and within seconds Finlay crossed to Tom who scooped the ball round with his left foot and past the
helpless keeper to equalise.1-1. King Ina took the centre and Hambridge won
possession back quickly. The busy Joe produced a fine through ball to
Freddie who saw his shot juggled by the keeper allowing Freddie the chance to
score. Goal! 2-1 Hambridge. King Ina came back. Suddenly, the ball flew into
the air. Smack! Faulkner was down and was forced off due to clash of heads.
Oliver came on as Finlay came off holding his head in pain. But as soon as Oliver had entered King Ina caught Hambridge on the break and scored. 2-2. Come on
Hambridge. Hambridge weren’t giving up though. Wild got the ball and dribbled
to the edge of the box where he found Joe who coolly scored to put
Hambridge back in front. 3-2 to Hambridge.
The
whistle blew for the start of the second half. King Ina took the centre and
within minutes they scored. 3-3. Hambridge kept on pushing but couldn’t get a
goal back for 15 minutes. It was so tiring but we knew we could win it.
Suddenly, Freddie was on the ball he passed it to Tom who nutmegged one and
then Maradonna’d the second and scored. 4-3. Hambridge were in the lead. But
King Ina were right back on the attack with a period of sustained pressure and
a number of corners, Hambridge were having to dig deep. With seconds remaining
a King Ina corner landed at the feet of Robinson who passed it to Trickey. His
instinctive pass found Finlay in space. Out numbering the King Ina defence three
one Finlay took the shot and scored. 5-3. The final whistle went Hambridge
had done it. The man of the match was Henry for his excellent leadership at the
back and for some timely interventions..
What a start to the season. Hopefully,
Hambridge can carry on this form.
