Sway make hard work of lowley Headley
Sway 3 Headley United 1
Hampshire Premier League Division 1
Saturday 17th December 2016
The Reds posted another good win to maintain their third place spot but in truth we made hard work of it against second-from-bottom Headley. We could and should have had the game wrapped up in the frst half but a number of one-on-ones went begging again. First half goals came from Ryan Brading and Jake Bockhart on 20 and 35mins respectively to send Sway in to a two goal lead but Headley narrowed the gap just before the interval when they scored from the spot.
The second half was a close run thing with both sides having opportunities. Headley's keeper making one outstanding save from Ryan Brading while Matt Langdown needed to make two superb saves late on to prevent an equaliser. But the game was finally put to bed when 18 year-old Luke Lewis, making his first team debut, headed in from close range with the final touch of the ball.
Sway: Langdown, Lambert, Petty, Spencer, Steadman, Booker, Huggins, Ritchie, M.Brading.Bockhart R. Brading. Subs: McQuoid, Scares, L. Lewis.
