Ash Trees 1 Geordies 3

[Swifty]

Very little I can say about this game. Hanwell Town weren't the best team we've faced this season, but they were more cohesive and pressured us more than we did them. 

 

Hanwell took a 27th minute lead with a fine 20 yard strike into the top corner from Joe Chandiram, but we equalised two minutes later with our best piece of play all night, Bitz working very hard just inside the box to lay the chance on a plate for Dan. 

 

We started the first few seconds of the second half brightly, but Hanwell regained the lead in the 48th with another good shot from the edge of the box by Zak Joseph, but he was given enough time to place his shot. A couple of late substitutions probably came too late for us to gain any impetus, and a horrible defensive mistake left sub Ricky Pither with a tap-in in the 80th.
