Hempnall v Beccles Sat 5th November 2011
Hempnall went to Beccles under new management and comfortably won 4-1 after conceding an early goal
In a great all round performance, JP made some excellent interventions
New signing Rafal Szalek looked classy in the defence
Hunter rises highest to head on
Mills had another massive game
The Beccles player outjumps the two Hempnall players
Bardsley, after great work by Barnes, just missed out
Hunter's shot sailed over
Good effort from Mills, great action shot of him fully committed as usual
Hempnall back in the game with Bardsley netting for 1-1
Another shot but the defender managed to block it
Barnes is improving his performance each week, and was excellent
MacFadden and Beccles player caught in balletic pose tussle for the ball
Perhaps (hopefully) the turning point of the season, with JD netting his first and Hempnall's second of the day
Great work by Barnes caused confusion, the ball spilled to JD who converts his second and Hempnall's third
The Hempnall players surround JD.
In a performance of balance, this time Szalek clears rapidly!
Not much got past Barnes in the air
Not realising he had more time, Bardsley blazes the ball over
Player once again showing what an asset he is to the Club with a performance full of competitiveness and skill
All parts of the pitch saw the aerial battles pretty well even
Keeper down quickly to foil Beccles
Good competitive action from the game
Hunting had a good game at the heart of the defence
Beccles defender does just enough to cause Bardsley to blast his shot over
Bunn shows he is a great shot stopper with a good reaction save
Bardsley just unable to control his header which sails over
The boys reminisce about the good old days
Whislt generally outplayed, Beccles did have their chances, this one hit the crossbar
Bunn manages to tip the ball over in a period of pressure from Beccles as Hempnall relaxed a bit
Bunn again called into action and manages somehow to keep the ball out.
The ball is eventually cleared by Hempnall
Another superb midfield performance by Hempnall's captain
Great finish from Chrystall for 4-1
To their credit, Beccles never gave in and fought to the end
