Fc Hamlets 6 Rochford Town 1

Hamlets started extremely quickly and found themselves a goal to the good after just 8 minutes. Great positive work from Jamie Lottrie down the left hand side saw him play a square ball into the Rochford 6 yard box. Ishmuel Carter was on hand to slot home. The game then came to a complete stop when the Rochford centre half fell foul to a dislocated shoulder after an inoculos challenge. Everyone's concern was obviously with the Rochford skipper. The game then started up again after the Rochford skipper was stretchered off. It wasn't long til Hamlets doubled their lead when a poor attempted clearance found its way to John Gilroy. Gilroy hit an effort fiercely with his left foot to leave the Rochford keeper helpless. The third soon followed when Jay Morris' attempt beat the Rochford keeper at the near post.
Half Time came and went which saw both teams keepers substituted through injury. Barely 4 minutes into the second half Ishmuel Carter made it 4 when he knocked in the rebound after a decent save from the Rochford keeper. Ashley King, who came on for the injured Hamlets keeper made it 5 when he also followed up a saved shot. Jack Potten, now occupying the Hamlets goal,pulled off two smart saves, one from a deflected shot. Charlie Heatley completed the Hamlets scoring when a he calmly slotted home from a solo effort. Rochford did get a consolation goal which was taken extremely well. The game finished this way leaving Hamlets feeling positive and chasing the top two teams with 2 games in hand.

Everyone at Hamlets wishes Rochford the best of luck for the rest of the season and a speedy recovery to the Rochford centre half.
