A National FA Community Charter Club Hethersett Athletic 4 Poringland
2 Hethersett Athletic scored one of the fastest goals
in the club’s history and then built up a comfortable 3-0 lead against
Poringland before allowing the visitors back into the match. The opening goal came in under 15 seconds following
a sweeping move straight from the kick off which saw Lee Barrett tap
home after a searching ball from John Curtis and a run behind the
defence by Mark Appleton led to a pin point cross. Hethersett made it 2-0 after 12 minutes when
Barrett returned the compliment by setting up Appleton who drove forward
to score. When Lee Barrett added a third after 29 minutes it looked as
if a rout might be on the cards. Gradually Poringland clawed their way back into the
match and goals either side of half-time brought a new complexion to the
game and saw Hethersett begin to struggle to hold opponents who were
gaining in confidence. Poringland looked certain to equalise in the last
minute only for Luke Appleton to make a magnificent goalline clearance.
Almost immediately play switched to the other end with Mark Appleton
running in behind the Poringland defence to ensure all three points went
to Hethersett. The win brings the club’s title hopes alive again
as they move into the top three of the Norwich Sunday League Premier
Division for the first time this season. One of Hethersett’s problems
at present is not being able to field a settled team due to injury and
unavailability. On Sunday they were without Dean Fitzgerald, Scott
Woodcock, Matt Barrett and Sam Wenham and Andy Milne stepped up from the
reserves for his first senior game of the season. This Sunday Hethersett visit Coltishall hoping to
continue their push for the top of the league. Hethersett Ladies, like their male counterparts,
are through to the quarter-finals of the County Cup. On Sunday they
comfortably overcame the challenge of UEA in the second round to win 5-0
with two goals from Donna Bonnett and Amy Brooks and one from Jodie
Allard. Overall it was a fine weekend for the club with the
Under-15 Girls beating West Norwich 2-0 in the league (Symons and Broom)
and the Girls Under-11 side travelling to Aylsham and winning 3-1
(Adelaide Mott 2 and Sophie Rock). The Under-16s had a comfortable 6-1 win at
Hellesdon (Waters 2, Marshall, Fisher, Cook and Martin), the Under-15s
beat Wymondham United 4-0 (R O’Sullivan 2, L. Buffin, Dyson), the
Under-14s beat Mulbarton in the League Cup with the only goal of the
game coming from Jamie Crowe. The Under-11s defeated Firside 3-1 (Foster 2 and
Burton) and the Under-10s beat Salhouse 1-0 with an own goal. The
Under-10s also went down 2-1 to Thorpe (Horsfield). The Under-9B side
lost 3-1 at Harling (Jessop), the Under-13s drew 3-3 with Old Catton
(Ford 2 and Keeley) and the Under-12s lost 7-0 at home to Firside.
