FIVE-STAR BOATMEN OVERCOME CRUSADERS
For the second season in a row, Sholing scored at will at home against Hungerford, though they did have to take the lead back twice.
thanks to Vinny Tume being able to turn in from a tight angle, after it seemed he had done too much, Sholing took the lead 12 minutes in.
Once again, the Boatmen came up against a former friend, this time, Fabio Lopes, who got the last touch past Dec McCarthy to draw his new side level.
Folivi got his goal to take the advantage back, and into the break, but only after Jake McCarthy’s rabona put him through.
The visitors drew first blood in the second period, levelling again when Harry Williams got a foot to a cross, and the momentum of both combined was enough to beat McCarthy.
Minimal time had passed when a mistimed challenge within eighteen yards allowed Folivi to reinstate the lead once more.
Their fourth came not long after, Jake McCarthy got a goal of his own, dispossessing the back line and lobbing Hungerford keeper, Jenson Kilroy.
Diamond Edwards kept things interesting, capitalizing on indecision in the defence, and finding the roof of the net, taking the score to 4-3.
Jake McCarthy fired hard and low, getting his second to give Sholing back the lead, taking their tally to five, finally burying the visitors.
