SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS PREMIER LEAGUE

The Hare's started the match in a very positive manner as they dominated the possession, passed the ball well and defending as as a unit and from this they created several early chances although it was not until the 13th minute that they found net when from a good pass MICHAEL CHENNELLS side footed the ball home to open the scoring.
The Hare's continued to control the match and they scored again in the 23rd minute when BEN GILL crossed the ball and it was deflected into the path of RYAN EGAN who nodded the ball in to double the lead.
The Reds were well on top at this stage but in the 33rd minute from a rare Hadley attack they were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box and from this the visitors played the ball to the side of the Hare's wall and their Don Petrucci stroked it into the net.
United were put under pressure from the goal and from a bad back pass in the 40th minute they conceded another free kick and this time their Don Petrucci hit an unstoppable shot into the goal as none of the Hare's defenders moved before the ball hit the back of the net.
United just before the half time break again took the lead when from a pass down the left hand side of the pitch when MICHAEL CHENNELLS outpaced the visitors defence and he got to the ball before Hadley's goalkeeper who had come out of the penalty area in an attempt to intercept the ball and he calmly passed the ball into the net.
The Hare's were unable to recreate the way they played in the first 30 minutes of the match and although the start of the 2nd half was fairly even Hadley gradually began to press forward in an attempt to get an equaliser and this forced the Reds to retreated into their own half were their defended desperately to keep the visitors at bay. Hadley were extremely unlucky not to score any of chances they created towards the end of the match and the Hare's left the pitch relieved that they gained all 3points
