SCHOOLS' FOOTBALL - Southern Counties Cup
Roehampton on 25th January 2003
Wandsworth Under 11‘s 2, Hackney Under 11‘s 0.

Hackney were rarely at their best in this much-delayed tie at Roehampton and Wandsworth eased into the next round courtesy of two first-half goals.

Hackney opened brightly with some neat passing in mid-field but could bring their strikers into the game and it was Wandsworth who broke the deadlock after fifteen minutes with a close-range strike. A second goal followed almost immediately leaving Hackney a huge task in the second period.

The visitors began to show more penetration after the interval and incisive through ball from Greg Moorse-MacDougall and Marc James provided Hackney with their best chances of the game but both Jahmal Mason-Blair and Anthony Sasa fired wide when well-placed and Wandsworth were able to re-gain control in the final minutes to thwart Hackney‘s challenge.
