Seaham FC 4-2 H-ton Hawks (Wednesday Hetton Soccer-6)

The Hawk's unbeaten run in the Wednesday Hetton Soccer 6 league came to an end as they failed to adapt to playing conditions.
As the heavens opened to give the Hawks their first match in the rain, their inexperience of playing on a wet surface proved their downfall.

In a game of little chances for either team, Seaham Fc could count themselves lucky to be 2-nil up at half time. Their first found the net from a wildly swung boot on the half way point. This lofted ball somehow ended up in the top corner of the goal. Their second came from a Lawrence backpass that slipped through the wet hands of debutant goalkeeper Watchman-Atkinson.

The second half was the same story. Unable to control the long high balls, the Hawks attacks quickly broke down and were caught on the counter. Both of Seaham's goals were deflected past the keep by blocking defenders. A late surge which saw Borthwick find the net was too little too late.

Next week's game is at 7.30 against Nee-Gud.
