Hodgsons 90 Minutes Away From Title

After this recent win, Hodgsons FC now need a final game victory over North Cave Reserves to clinch the County Premier League title.

The trip to Reckitts was never going to be easy against a side who can play neat football and boast a number of experienced players. Hodgsons started the game in great fashion, Paul Silvester hitting the bar. The long throw-in’s were also causing problems for the home side with the tanners coming close on many occasions, with just a final touch letting them down.

The breakthrough came courtesy of leading scorer Adam Foster, he tapped in on the 30 min mark from close range to give Hodgsons a 1 nil lead to take into the second half.

Goal number 2 came from the right foot of Foster. He hit a shot that flew into the bottom corner of the net from the edge of the box. He completed his hatrick with 15 minutes or so remaining with a fine solo effort. Foster now has 24 goals in just 21 appearences, a fine contribution from the former Beverley Town hitman.

Reckitts did manage a consolation goal, firing home from inside the box. Stand in keeper Ben Daniels had no chance as a wicked deflection left him standing motionless.

Man of the match – Adam Foster

Hodgsons Chairman Lee Hastings said;

“By the time the cup final comes round we could be competing on Tuesday evening as domestic league winners. However, the league is our ‘bread and butter’, and up most priority. The lads have put so much hard work in this season, they deserve nothing less. It would also be fantastic to see plenty of support from Beverley to support the team on Tuesday too, in what will be our final game of a long, hard season.”
