Match Report by Rob Monger
With the current spate of
injuries it was good to see the Cowley brothers return to the team sheet,
Danny starting and Nicky on the bench. Despite a couple of good home wins
we still needed a good away victory to fully lay to rest the stuttering start on
the first day of the season.
So far so good in the
early minutes as we started strongly and a Danny Heale free kick came back off
the post with Lee Sontag having two bites of the cherry from the rebound and
being thwarted on both occasions by blocking defenders. It was all the
more shocking then when Hullbridge took the lead after 17 minutes when Jamie
Cheesewright stooped to head home from a free kick floated in from the half
way line. The home side frustrated us for most of the remainder of the
half despite them being under almost constant pressure and as the half wore on
we were left wondering if this would be 'one of those games'. That was
until the 42nd minute when Billy Holland took advantage of a fraction of a
second's hesitation from the Hullbridge defence to bring the ball away from a
clutch of players and fire the ball home.
In the second half Hullbridge rarely got a
look in and found themselves behind six minutes in when Danny Heale sent a low
drive from 20 yards past the diving Trevor Dinig in the Hullbridge goal.
Danny Gill replaced the injured Sean Dear on 57 minutes and two minutes later
made it 3-1, finishing off a move he started from the middle of the park.
Danny Cowley had a firm effort deflected over and Stuart Roberts headed
against the crossbar before Billy Holland got his second goal of the evening,
running onto a loose ball after an attempted pass from a Hullbridge defender
cannoned off the legs of a team-mate. Hullbridge's Neal Hughes received
the first yellow card of the match with 3 minutes to go - which answered those
who wondered if the referee had left his cards at home - and may, in a way,
feel a bit hard done by since many other similar offences went unpunished.
Dinig made a magnificent save on 43 minutes, tipping over from a Steve King
header from a free-kick, but was powerless to prevent Danny Heale from making
it 5-1 after some good work by Greg Tiffin.
