Hegarty
hat-trick sets up Shirland win
Shirland
Miners Welfare 6 Riddings Rovers 1
Home
scorers:- Hegarty (3), Harrison (2), Bellamy
Away scorers:-
Shirland raced to their
biggest victory so far this season with a fantastic and confident performance
against big rivals Riddings Rovers.
Numerous
chances were made by Shirland right from kick-off but sloppy defending and
a touch of bad luck put Riddings one goal up after 10 minutes.
Shirland's
first goal came 5 minutes later with a stunning goal from Dale Hegarty who
recived a perfect through ball from midfield captain Steven Boot. Hegarty
picked out Richard Harrison and he in turn delivered a pinpoint pass back
to Hegarty who outpaced the Rddings defence to hit a powerful shot for number
two, the third goal also came from Shirland's new striker Hegarty after
20 minutes which now takes his tally to 4 goals in two games for Shirland.
At
this point Shirland were playing some of their best football ever seen and
this payed off with Shirland's fourth goal on 28 minutes. Ian Hursthouse
flew passed two defenders only to be bought down in the box before he could
shoot resulting in a penalty, up stepped Richard Harrison to slot home.
In
the second half Harrison got his second goal of the game with some very
sexy football, Richard is every football team's worst nightmare because
he can destroy any defence in a click of a finger and he just keeps getting
better and better with every game he plays!!
A
few minutes later Hursthouse slotted home only to be rejected by referee
Graham Brentnal and denied again 8 minutes later with a weird decsion.
On 70 mintues on came
Lee Belamy for unlucky Hursthouse and within 10 minutes Lee won the ball
in the penalty area, turned and fired with such a bolt that it ripped a
hole in the back of the net, making the score 6-1. Shirland's Man of the
Match went to Dale Hegarty.
Passing
football secures Holloway points
Black
Hippo 1 AFC Lea Holloway 3
Home
scorers:-
Away scorers:- Pearson (2), Emberton
Both teams went into
Wednesday's game on the back of two league defeats in a row and were determined
to get their seasons on track in torrential rain and strong winds.
Holloway
played some lovely passing football but only managed to hit the net once
in the first half. A Shaun Bott cross was fumbled by the home team keeper
in a challenge with Nigel Emberton and Adam Pearson was on hand to tap into
an empty net.
The
good football continued in the second half but again the chances weren't
put away as often as we'd have liked. Holloway went 2-0 up midway through
the second half with a tidy finish from 18 yards from Nigel Emberton and
Pearson claimed his 2nd with a good left-footed finish from a tight angle.
Black Hippo pulled one back with the last kick of the game.
