Vanarama National League South, December 2016

Casting our minds back to a rain-soaked Marsh Lane in December 2016, Hungerford fans may remember the Hoops slumping to their heaviest defeat of the season.

The Hoops started strong and the game could have been different if Scott Davies scored an early penalty, when Mike Fondop was fouled in the box inside 3 minutes.

After Hungerford goalkeeper George Legg saved the spot-kick, the visitors went on to punish the missed opportunity on 12 minutes when Nicholas Bignall opened the scoring.

The Hoops went on to see their fair share of possession for the remainder of the 1st half but failed to find an equaliser, with a Godfrey Poku header hitting the crossbar before James Roberts and Mike Fondop drawing good saves from the Hungerford goalkeeper.

However, despite the Hoops efforts, Hungerford raced into a 4-0 lead early in the 2nd half with 3 goals inside 10 minutes.

Hungerford’s Harry Goodger and ex-Hoops player Louis Soares topped off a miserable afternoon for the Hoops, both getting their braces after the 80 minute mark.
