Barwell 0 Rushall Olympic 4

Report by Merv Nash

Leon Spink’s superb hat-trick sealed an emphatic victory for ten man Rushall Olympic over a shell shocked Barwell.

All the goals came after the break but Ahmed Obeng and Jamie Towers, who was denied by the post, both squandered chances in the first half.

Barwell had a great chance in the 53rd minute as substitute Olly Brown-Hill found himself with only the goalkeeper Chris Gemmell to beat but he was foiled.

Obeng, however, opened the scoring on 55 minutes, getting the better of Jack Edwards and scoring with a low shot.

Rushall’s Matty Wood saw red on the hour for a nasty tackle on Kieron Brehon.

Leon Spink was able to score finishing a lovely move on 70 minutes. He grabbed his second with a superb volley ten minutes from time before completing the rout with a free kick to seal a fantastic afternoon for the visitors.
