Early pressure paid off as JJ made a bursting run into the penalty area with the opposition defender bringing him down while making a last ditch effort to stop him. Coolly, Owen stepped up to dispatch a confident penalty to make it one nil. Hacton extended their lead as a slick passing move resulted in Owen popping up in the box to curl the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Confidently the boys continued their dominance in the second half as JJ grabbed an early goal, celebrated with a confident strut back to his own half. However, Hacton did not have it all their own way as Rise Park headed home a corner to try and get back in the game.
Shortly after, Hacton restored their lead, as Braden weaved through the Rise Park defence with a jinking run and then slotted the ball into the corner of the goal.
Rise Park gave a late push and grabbed one more goal with a minute left on the clock. As the whistle went the boys knew they had earned their victory with their impressive work ethic. Well done boys and I hope you are looking forward to the semi finals!
