Crusaders Cruise into next round

Hungerford eased into the 2nd qualifying round with a comfortable 3-0 win over AFC Stoneham at Bulpit Lane in tricky wet conditions.

Matt Berry-Hargreaves nearly scored in the opening ten minutes when he fizzed a shot at goal from thirty yards it beat the post with the keeper just stood watching.

The Wessex League side had a big chance when Liam Callaghan could only shoot straight at Luke Cairney the Hungerford stopper saving well with his feet. Hungerford then had a goal chalked off for offside after 30 mins via Kyle Tooze.

Hungerford looked dangerous on set pieces and Jordan Rose and Ty Duffus both went close with headed efforts.

Remarni Medford-Smith had a big penalty shout just before half time but it was adjudged that he actually fouled beforehand when all expected a penalty. Then Conor McDonagh saw a shot somehow pushed around the post in first half injury time.

The home side started the second half in a positive attacking mode despite now going up the slope. It only took 15 minutes for them to open the scoring. McDonagh capitalized on a goalkeeping error from the young Stoneham keeper who spilled a cross from Zach Koticwa for McDonagh to pounce.

Harry Williams then finished off a James Ollis cross midway through the half to double Hungerford lead again the keeper could only parry Williams initial shot and the striker gratefully tapped the ball in.

It then only took three more minutes for Hungerford to add the third this time Ollis himself finishing at the near post past the keeper after latching on to a headed clearance from Rose.

This clinched the game for Hungerford but could have been more, Williams hit the post when one on one. Hungerford now were in total control and saw the game out fairly comfortably.
