Big Match Special
Our weekly spotlight on one of the
league’s big games
Under-10 A
Hampstead Hawks 4
Hawks 0
HAMPSTEAD Hawks enjoyed a cracking Easter as they won the latest
of our Big Match Specials on Monday to take over at the top
of the table.
Chasing back-to-back titles, Hampstead failed to make the most
of their first half dominance as the game remained goalless
going in at the break.
In the second half, man-of-the-match John Souster stepped up
from the heart of Hampstead’s defence to add an extra presence
in midfield.
The move paid off as Niko Lysandoides’ long ball found
Conor Jones, who slotted home from close range to open.
With Hampstead keeper Harry Gottlieb in fine form, it was important
for Hawks to make a quick comeback.
But it was Hampstead who doubled their lead when the referee
spotted a handball in a crowded penalty area.
Up stepped captain Danny McCarthy to coolly convert the spot
kick. Hampstead added a third when Freddi Fitzsimmons unleashed
a thunderous drive from distance.
And in the final minutes Samuel Phinikas rounded off the scoring
when he cut back inside the final defender before curling his
shot past the keeper from the edge of the area.
Man of the Match
JOHN SOUSTER
Man of the match John Souster didn’t put a foot wrong throughout
the game. He inspired Hampstead to push forward as they chased
the all-important victory. |
