New loan signing Thomas Conteh, freshly arrived from Forest Green Rovers, began the evening on the bench. Hungerford were without George Smith and Matt Berry‑Hargreaves, both sidelined through injury, while goalkeeper Luke Cairney recovered from a knock sustained in Saturday’s defeat to Chertsey Town and was fit to start.

Hanwell threatened early when Cal Woodcock’s low drive was pushed onto the post by a sharp Cairney save. Hungerford responded with purpose and felt they should have had a penalty in the 18th minute after Ramarni Medford‑Smith was brought down in the area, only for the referee to dismiss the appeals.

The visitors carved out the best chance of the half on 35 minutes. Fabio Lopes delivered a teasing cross to Harry Williams, but the striker mistimed his effort, allowing Hanwell keeper Beasant to gather comfortably

Hungerford emerged with renewed intent and took the lead ten minutes after the restart. Kas Burton embarked on a superb solo run, gliding past several defenders before drilling a low strike from outside the box beyond Beasant.

Hanwell pressed hard for an equaliser, but Hungerford’s defensive pairing of Jordan Rose and Ty Duffus stood firm, repelling wave after wave of pressure

With five minutes of normal time remaining, substitute Conteh burst clear of the Hanwell back line and was brought down by a combination of Beasant and Woodcock. After a lengthy stoppage for treatment to the goalkeeper, Louis McGrory stepped up and coolly converted the penalty.

Ten minutes of added time gave Hanwell renewed hope, and they were handed a lifeline when McGrory was penalised for handball. Dan Carr converted from the spot to make it 1–2.

But Hungerford were not finished. Deep into stoppage time, McGrory redeemed himself in emphatic fashion, surging through the Hanwell defence and rifling a stunning effort into the top corner to seal the points.

A scoreline of relief and reward for Hungerford, who delivered a spirited, disciplined display and can now carry genuine momentum into the festive period.
