Wittering 4 - 3 Hampton

The end of the season is in sight now, thats for sure, but there is no surety about which division the Whites will be playing thier football in next season after this away defeat to a much improved Wittering side. 

Last time around Hampton put nine goals past Wittering but this time the Whites failed to make their possession and chances count due mainly to the efforts of the outstanding opposition keeper  

Hampton opened the scoring in the first-half with Cameron pressuring then beating Wittering's impressive keeper to fire into the net. It wasn't long after before Wittering were on level terms as Lucas tried valiantly but failed to keep the Whites in the lead going into half-time. 

Hampton oozed confidence in the second-half with Ben firstly hitting the bar and then firing past the stricken keeper to get the lead. More pressure followed with a string of corners for the Whites. William latched onto a ball at the edge of area following a Bradley corner and fired low and right-footed across the keeper for the third. 

Hampton's desire to add to the scoring left gaps at the back and Wittering took full advantage, scoring two quick goals on the break and then with only a few minutes remaining, taking the lead. Hampton still had many chances but didn't manage to find a way past the keeper and have now have to win both of their remaining games to ensure promotion. It's still in their hands. Coach Glen said at the post-match press conference:

"Now we seriously need to win those two games to get second place. The goal difference is sitting pretty but to be sure of getting second place, they must win."   

Next up it's the local derby with Yaxley who are third from bottom and then the final game of the season is away to bottom club Farcet a fortnight later.
