This evening Thatcham Town visited the Powerday Stadium. Taking on Hanwell Town, in the Isthmian League. The guest went into the match thirteenth in the division. Having beaten Staines Town in their previous encounter. Ending their winless streak, which started against Ashford Town.
The first chance of the night fell to the visitors. Fosu fired a free kick over the bar, with ten minutes gone. Moments before Hanwell had the ball in the net. Being ruled as offside. Hitting the side netting, the Geordies broke away on seventeen minutes. A volleyed effort narrowly missing the target. Continuing their hunt for an opener Hanwell had another chance on thirty minutes. Just missing the post with a flicked effort. Handball appeals from the home side proved to be the final action of the half, as the referee waved away the decision.
At the break both sides were evenly matched. The visitors struggled to create an opportunity after ten minutes, inviting heavy pressure onto the back line. Hanwell Town unfortunate to have a goal to their name. When play resumed it proved to be duller than the first half. The first chance of note coming on the seventy-eight minutes, when a header was cleared at the far post. Thatcham’s Hopwood scuffing a save as we entered the last ten minutes. Getting down again, Hopwood made another good block for the guest. Carrying on until full time to secure a point.
In conclusion Hanwell Town can feel very hard done by from tonight’s match. Desperately looking for a goal, they were unfortunate not to get it. Having had chance after chance. Changes from the bench not able to provide the difference. Leaving a point added to the table, as the Geordies look for play off promotion.
