Hungerford struggled to get going for long periods of the game just 3 days after the energy sapping FA Vase tie but in the end secured another valuable 3 points against a hard working Highworth side.

Clean cut chances were at a premium as Hungerford attacked up the slope in the first half towards thier favourite goal. Top scorer Ian Concannon had been reseted in favour of the soon to be suspended for nine games Shaun Terry who partnered Charlie Austin up front. It was Austin who came closest to breaking the dead lock early when he lift the ball over Highworth's on rushing keeper but it was cleared just before it reached the line. Austin seem to have been taken out late but to be fair to the referee he had to rely on his linesman who saw nothing, or nothing wrong with the challenge.

Hungerford huffed and puffed and whilst they did not look like conceeding they did not threaten much either until Mayo found a through ball to Gosling who rocketted a shot into the top corner past a helpless goal keeper. It was 1 - 0 at half time and that was probably the right score.

Highworth equalised early in the 2nd half after Hungerford gave away a needless corner. It was a scrappy goal scored due to the determination of Highworth to get into the game.

We then went through a period  of scrappy play form Hungerford chances did come most noteably when Bedwell forced a save from Highworth's keeper and Gosling flashed a shot wide when he really should have scored.

Going into the last 10 minutes it looked like a dissapointing draw, cue then the Shaun Terry show, his cross from the left found Fitch who calmly took the headed chance to put Hungerford 2 - 1 up, Highworth let thier heads drop and two quick but late goals from Terry boosted the scoreline.

3 points in the bag and another game under the belt for Hungerford.
