Hacton 6 - 0 Brady

On Wednesday 7th March Hacton played Brady. Conditions were sticky under foot as it had rained earlier that day but the sun was shining. Within 2 minutes of the match starting Kevelle scored a goal as he pounced on the rebound from Jack’s shot to set the score line at 1 - 0. Soon after Morgan gave David Beckham a run for his money, seeing the goalkeeper off his line and curling the ball into the top right hand corner from the halfway line. 2 - 0. Shortly after Hacton were finding lots of opportunities but couldn’t score. “Foul!”, called the referee, which led to Morgan’s second goal straight from the free kick. 3 - 0! With minutes to spare in the first half, Jack scored his second goal of the season to bring the score to 4 - 0 to Hacton. What a first half!

At the start of the second half Charlie showed some unbelievable skill as he crossed the ball to Aaron. Brady’s three defenders were caught napping and out of position. Aaron caught the end of the cross and only had the goalkeeper to beat. He couldn’t miss . . .  or could he? He scored to make it 5 - 0. The opposition pushed more men forward and, as Morgan cleared the ball, Charlie saved the ball from going out of play. This led to some neat passing on the edge of the area from the Hacton boys finished off emphatically by Aaron who blasted it into the top left corner. 6 - 0 to complete Hacton’s record result in a game that saw a contender for goal of the season from Morgan. Man of the match went to Aaron after an excellent game but it could have gone to anyone in Hacton's high-scoring team.
