Charitable Road to Wembley

What a great day at hampton & Richmond, a nice train journey into London. A few tube stops then an interview with Mark Murphy of BBC Radion Suffolk while standing on the banks of the river Thames. ​The fans and officials of Hampton were so kind and welcoming, the P/A announcer kept everyone informed about our visit. I was hoping for a home win Arlesey scored first after 5 minutes. The lead didnt last too long as Hampton struck back twice in a couple of frantic minutes.

The second half started with Hampton pressing for the third goal wich duly arrived. It wasnt long before the impressive Charlie Moone got his hat-trick as he rounded the keeper and put the ball into the empty net for 4-1.

Arlesey tried hard to get back into the game but even with Barry Hales leading the line they never threaten. A late goal from Hampton put the icing on the cake for the hosts with a very impressive 5-1.

​The Hampton officials even funelled everyone past us as we made our healthy collection of £141 at the main gate.

Next up Gloucester
