HAWKINGE MAKE IT TO THE FINAL

By Cyril Trice

The Hawkinge Sunday morning team were away to Essembee in the League Cup semi-final today (2 April).

At first things didn't look too bright for the Hawkinge side and they finished the first half  trailing 3 goals to 1;  their opponents must have thought they were on their way to clinching a place in the finals.

But with half hour to go the village side's fortunes changed.  Starting with a penalty which was duly put away by Eamonn Elalem, this was quickly followed by an equalizer. Goals then seem to be made on the hoof with the score line increasing to five for Hawkinge at which point one of their opponents lost his cool and was sent off.

With a extra man advantage a further 2 goals were put away by the village team before the final whistle, giving them a place in the finals.
