MATCH REPORT
TEAMS:
ATTENDANCE: 275
Hucknall were just simply blown away by a Sherwood side looking for a response to a surprising FA Cup scoreline last weekend. The only blessing for the Yellows was a scoreline which could have been more.
Straight from the kick off Sherwood were at the Hucknall defence with a very high press not allowing Hucknall any time on the ball.
On 18 mins Hucknall gave the ball away under this pressure but Kyle Pemberton made a miraculous block.
On 25 mins Sherwood finally broke the deadlock when the ball was given away (a theme for the night) and the cross from Lobley was brought down by ex Yellow Kieran Knight before he slotted it home. Fair play he didn't celebrate.
Two minutes later the ball was in the Hucknall net again but the Assistant raised his flag to cancel the goal.
It was constant Sherwood pressure and it wasn't long a until the lead was doubled. On 35 Hucknall yet again gave the ball away cheaply but it was still a fine finish from Ryan Ingram.
Three minutes later Ingram had another shot which was parried to the edge of the box. Pearce providing the finish with a powerful shot.
Half time came and Hucknall's only shot of note was from Dunkley trying to catch the visiting keeper out at the near post but it was a comfortable save.
Half time: Hucknall 0 Sherwood 3
Joe Ashurst came on for Dunkley at the start of the half. Dunkley having a hamstring problem.
Hucknall actually started the half better without achieving much but were come unstuck again with their defensive frailties.
On 51 Ingram again finished well from Pearce's assist to make it 4.
On 63 Rowe was replaced by Mahzi Simmons and Tefera was replaced by Skervin.
Despite being better in this half Sherwood scored a fifth on 65 minutes with Ingram completing his hat trick slotting home after yet another defensive calamity.
Short and Sugars replaced Pemberton and Jaine.
Sherwood were happy with 5 and despite some decent approach play Hucknall were unable to create anything and the Referee brought a very disappointing evening for the Yellows to a close.
I was very impressed with Sherwood and on this showing I believe they will go on to win the league. For the Yellows it was a lesson and a harsh one at that. I decided against awarding a MOTM even though we never let our heads drop we were simply beaten by a better side on the night.
Next up is Boston away in the league cup on Saturday where the poachers will be looking to avenge their recent FA Vase exit at the RM.
