The Hurricanes signed off in their last home game of the season (and completed an unbeaten season at Fortress Ickleford) with a comfortable victory over Bishop’s Stortford.
The first half followed the pattern of many games this season. Hurricanes on top, territorially dominant, lots of half-chances created but no reward. Fortunately the second half also followed the season’s pattern as the team cut loose to cruise to their 7th win in 8 home games.
Somerset put the team 1-0 up with a predatory finish after Sam K’s cross was parried by the Stortford keeper. For the first time this season, Sam K didn’t score but created Somerset’s second with one of the assists of the season – collecting William’s pass, beating his man and putting in a curling, pinpoint cross which Somerset met with a superb glancing header that looped over the keeper and into the top left-hand corner. Somerset completed his hat-trick (and claimed his prize of new football boots, courtesy of his parents) with an unstoppable right-foot finish five minutes from the end.
Man of the match – Somerset – excellent front-running, some good lay-offs and a well-taken hat-trick.
Team – Sam Hen, Patrick, Sam Hart, William, Kane, Sam K, Joel, Somerset
