FA Vase First Round
Hadleigh United 0 London Lions 2

A brief report on London Lions win at Eastern Counties League Premier Division Hadleigh United:

Hadleigh United 0 London Lions 2
The visitors looked the brightest from the start and took the lead on 7 mins. Hadleigh were slow to react but did come back into the game. Joel Glover having the best of the chances but failed to convert and the score stayed at 0-1 up until half time.
The visitors started the second half on the front foot and doubled their lead on 48 mins. Hadleigh did have chances. Dinnell seeing his effort saved and a Sam Mills header from a corner was comfortably dealt with by the keeper.
A deserved win overall from the visitors who move on to the next round.
