HOW IT HAPPENED

First Half:

In a very defensive opening frame, Chowan sent shots towards goal as Ausar Omwenga, Tren Drexhage, Leke Ademola, London Williams, and James Randall had shots that would be turned away by the SWU keeper.

Late in the half, Harri Lovett and Jamie Moore tried to find the opening tally but were also turned away as both teams went into the half scoreless.

Second Half:

Chowan hit every part of the goal except the back of the net as James Randall had a shot in the 57' that would bounce off the post.

The Hawks would take advantage of the set piece as Harri Lovett sent in the corner from the right side of the pitch and found Tren Drexhage on the far post for the 1-0 lead in the 69'.

Charlie Farrar was forced to make his lone save in the 73'.

Ausar Omwenga, Wesley Illes, and James Randall continued to be denied by the post hitting the crossbar twice.  Kai Rymes would also be turned away by the post.

The Hawks pushed players forward as a long throw in from Harri Lovett was deflected off Dennis Bates and corralled by Leke Ademola to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead in the 85'.

Dennis Bates and Leke Ademola would link up again in the 89' to finish off the contest with the 3-0 victory.
