Buckhurst Hill 0 FC Hamlets 2

A tough but deserved victory for the boys in Orange. The early parts of the game saw Hill on the offensive with Hamlets looking to brake on the counter. Hill went close when their winger cut in and had a shot blocked at point blank range by the Hamlets keeper. Hamlets then came in to their own. On the 20th minute, a clever corner from Jack Potten was played to George Oakley 10 yards outside the Hill box. Oakley hit an unbelievable strike, first time to beat the keeper without giving him a sniff, leaving Hill stunned and Hamlets in delight. Hamlets then found themselves 2 to the good when a diagonal ball from Oakley looked to release Ishmuel Carter but caused chaos in the Hill defence. The lack of understanding left the keeper stranded and Carter with a tap in. Hill resorted to playing balls into the Hamlets box which proved highly ineffective.

The second half saw Hill dominate possession in spells however not looking threatening. Lewis Cassell and Ishmuel Carter proving to be Hamlets out ball to good effect. Hill had a late flurry with them having a goal ruled out for offside and a point blank shot smartly stopped.
