LNER Builders         1    1    Hemingbrough

Bouncebackability Brough displayed all their excellent team spirit and patience as they equalised with virtually the last kick of the genie to take a point which moved them into third place in the league table.

The game was controlled by both midfields and defences thus goal scoring chances were down to an absolute premium though when Caudwell was upended in the box Heminghrough believed that they had a clear penalty but the Referee didn't share the same opinion.

On the half hour The Builders took the lead, a hopeful punt up field bounced over theHemingbough defenders and Andy Sykes lobbed keeper Nick Brown from 16 vds out.

In the second half the Brough controlled both possession and territory and the hard working Tomlinson helped his forwards to push forward but despite a number of corners Hemingbrough still failed to find a way through. In the final ten minutes Dave Young was pushed forward to bolster the attack and it almost paid instant dividends when he met a Singh cross but his header was brillianty saved by the home keeper. With the game in it's final minute Hemingbrough won yet another corner but this time Smith headed the ball towards Kierran Morris at the back post and he hammered the ball home for a deserved equaliser.


Hemingbrough Reserves


Hemingbrough   Res      2   5    White Horse Church Fenton


With both teams still searching for the first point of the season There was always going to be some pressure to the game. Hemingbrough made the better start to the game. Knocking the ball about and creating chances and on 15 mins were awarded a penalty for handball which Tom Caudwell converted. The visitors drew level when a cross from the right found White Horse's
Marshall unmarked in the 6 yd box and he knocked it between the keeper Matthews and Collins. The visitors took the lead shortly afterwards when Hemingbrough's Maltby headed in to his own goal.

For the first 20 mins of the second half White Horse dominated and increased their lead with three goals, all one on one with The keeper. The home side were still pushing forward and on 71 mins Aked was brought down and again Tom Caudwell converted the penalty. Hemingbrough believed they still could get something from this game and on 76mins they were awarded their third
penalty of the day. Caudwell was on a hat-trick but he blasted the ball over the bar. This was the nearest they were to getting another goal.

Hemingbrough


John Smiths Sunday League Division 2

Hemingbrough    1           6   Nestle Flag

The Sunday side put in their most disappointing performance or the season and probably for a couple of seasons as they were well beaten by Nestle Flag 6 - 1. Nobby Taylor hit the Hemingbrough goal in what was a well below par performance.
