Sussex Sunday Youth League

Horsham U16s welcomed Hawks Youth to Southwater Village Centre for what turned out to be a keenly contested league match. Horsham began well, when great interplay between Zak Comber and Jake Legrange led to an early chance. The home team kept up the pressure with Ollie Clarke making a clever run down the right flank. Horsham continued to press hard and enjoyed much of the possession but the Hawks defence remained firm.

Alex Parsons found himself in space on 28 minutes, only to see his strike hit the woodwork, but the young Hornets finally broke through on 30 minutes when Comber struck home following an excellent passing movement down the left hand side involving Harry Garman and George Hole. The Hawks' only break of the half provoked an excellent save from Albie Aldridge, low down to his left hand post.

The second half saw Hawks come out much stronger and they began to pressurise the young Hornets. However Horsham kept their heads and battled back and it wasn’t long before a corner from Hole saw Anthony Jupp power a cracking header that just went wide of the target.#

Horsham notched up their second when Stanley Rice provided a delightful through ball to Comber who nonchalantly tapped the ball in the back of the net. Horsham continued to challenge the Hawks’ defence and claimed their 3rd goal when a Clarke corner was powered home by a fine 10 yard header from the ever impressive Greg Gander.

Hawks bravely battled on but a foul on Alex Parsons saw Horsham awarded a penalty that was confidently struck home by Zac Comber to complete his hat-trick and Horsham’s 4th. The result was sealed when Lewis Blaney rose magnificently to head home a good delivery from a corner.
