Herne Bay Harriers 4 Hugin Vikings 0

Herne Bay Harriers Under 15’s completely dominated their match against Hugin Vikings and came out worthy winners 4-0, with the Man of the Match award going to
M. Epps for a solid performance in the heart of the Harriers defence.

Vikings started brightly, but the Harriers upped the tempo and soon created early chances, with shots from M. Weeks, R. Tait and B. Sargeant. A flowing move down the left saw the Harriers take the lead when D. Marsden finished from close range.

In the second half R. Gower extended the Harriers lead with a solo run down the right, with his shot go in off the far post. Minutes later L. Senft broke the Viking defence and slotted the ball between the advancing keeper’s legs, allowing the Harriers to go 3 up.

J. Culver in the Harriers goal was redundant for most of the game, but was called upon to pull off a superb one handed save to keep a blank sheet midway through the second half. The game was put beyond doubt, when J. Gould neatly steered the ball with his chest to J. Bishop who clinically finished in a crowded penalty box to round off an outstanding team performance.
