After a wobbly start to the 2012/13 campaign HCR are now starting to acclimatise to the altitude in Division 2 and demonstrate their ability to compete at this higher level.

HCR welcomed Trysull Tigers East to Hurst Green for this home encounter. HCR were looking lively so too were the tigers, Hamza played in a great cross which was swiftly cleared by the visitors. HCR’s competent back 4 of Tariq, Sam, Paddy and Matty were working hard and were communicating well and seeing off most of the danger.

Marzouk won the ball well and his first time shot was collected by the keeper,   the HCR faithful knew it was only a matter of time before we would convert as the passes were being strung together and there was a forward energy.  It was no surprise when Mohamood linked up well with Hamza to opening the scoring as Hamza despatched the ball decisively into the bottom right hand corner of the net for 1-0.

The tails were up and more attacking play was in evidence with Mohamood shooting on target forced  the Tiger’s keeper to make a great save. Up the other end Trysull made a surging run for what was a certain equaliser only to be denied by a quality save from Javon.

The second half started with gusto and within minutes Mohamed fed the ball to Hamza who made no mistake for 2-0.

HCR were enjoying a lion’s share of the possession with Zeyad, Taha, Aaron and Marzouk passing the ball well and tracking back to regain possession when necessary. Paddy and Javon were combining well to eliminate any problems at the back. Mohamood battled to win the ball, passed to Marzouk who fed Mohamed who slotted home for 3-0.

With the momentum with us Marzouk scored a great individual goal twisting and turning and finishing a well-crafted goal to bring the tally to 4-0. The inform Marzouk went on a similar run and skilfully took the ball around the keeper only to shoot just wide of the post. Aiman was battling well on the right wing and Hamza was brought down on the edge of the box, he coolly stepped up to despatch the awarded penalty into the back of the net to complete his hatrick, his second in two games, bringing the score to 5-0.

The excitement didn’t stop there and HCR continued to press and create, with both Aaron and Taha being denied by the woodwork before the final whistle. Three points, five goals and a clean sheet. The 13 men of HCR combined well as a unit with all players contributing to a fine display. Well done to you all.  

MAN OF THE MATCH went to Tariq who was very disciplined in a new position, held his back line well and put in some important challenges.

It was great to see Maien and Jack on the side lines, wishing them both well.
