After an excellent game last week against Kearsney, much was expected from Northwood. After 5 minutes the expectations rose as Northwood calmly put the ball into the net through Goodwin Khuzwayo . After this the game was played in midfield and neither keeper was tested due to a lot of wayward passing. The 1st half ended with Northwood leading 1-0 which was a true reflection of the half. One expected the 2nd half to move up a gear but it was like the first half with aimless passing and both teams battling to get their game going. The match really looked like it was heading for a victory for Northwood with 5 minutes left, but Hilton did not give up as they put pressure on Northwood defence and forced a corner. This was Hilton’s last chance which they took with a great header from no.10 that left the Northwood keeper stranded. The game never rose to any great heights and in the end a 1-1 draw was a true reflection as Hilton had the better of the second half.
