In a match of the quintessential game of 2 halves the Brook took a 2 goal lead in the 1st half only for an improved Hanwell to score twice in the 2nd.

With Esmond James & Dan Tomlin taking early control of the 1st half & playing some lovely through balls to the pacey Tobi Akinjirin & Ricardo Faux - James the Hanwell defence was at full stretch to contain them.

And so it proved when after 7 minutes Tomlin played TOBI AKINJIRIN through,who outpaced the covering defenders to take the ball round the Hanwell keeper,Fanner,and put the ball into the empty net to score his 1st goal for the Brook on his competitive debut.1-0

The Brook continued to have the better quality of possession and it was no surprise when I the 26th minute Tomlin again combined
with TOBI AKINJIRIN who made it 2-0.

With James,Tomlin & McManus playing well in midfield it looked like the Brook would score a 3rd goal before half-time.However Hanwell had other ideas and were beginning to get better possession without troubling Court in the home goal,so it remained 2-0 at Half-Time.

In the 2nd half a combination of an injury to Jerome Eccleston & Hanwell substitutions saw the visitors get right back into the game.

Hanwell introduced Lewis Putnam up front & he soon galvanized the Hanwell attack.Coupled with the Brook losing both Eccleston & Tomlin through injury within 3 minutes of each other Hanwell scored on 55 minutes when the Brook failed to clear the ball which then fell for Putnam who controlled the ball and shot past the diving Court.2-1

The Brook were still playing well but it was the visitors who were now looking the more dangerous with Court having to make a fine save diving to his left & Putnam hitting the post.

Unfortunately with only 15 minutes remaining an accidental collision between McManus & Hanwell's Tom Duffy saw the visitors player stretchered off the field.

The equalizer,when it came,had elements of farce about it.In the 82nd minute Hanwell were awarded a corner on the left,from the resultant cross Rhone made a looping header towards the goal,unfortunately Court in the home goal either thought the ball was going wide or over the bar let the ball lob gently over his head & into the net.2-2

For the final 8 minutes neither sides were able to create a chance for a winning goal so the game petered out to a 2-2 draw.

AFC Hayes have been informed that Tom Duffy,who went to hospital after his injury,has not broken his leg, but his injury is still serious - damaged knee ligaments - and will be out for several weeks.All at AFC Hayes wish Tom,a popular ex-AFC Hayes player- a speedy recovery.
