Hampshire Irons took on unbeaten visitors Butlocks Heath from the City of Southampton in the Hampshire Sunday Trophy tie and found themselves a goal behind early in the second half, writes Tony Spencer.

Irons started strongly, creating lots of chances that the front line wasted. Looking secure at the back the Irons pushed for an opener but were unable to find the net.

Irons started the second half slow and allowed Butlocks control. The game opened up and Butlocks took the lead after their forward turned Jack Miller inside out and smarty finished, 0-1.

The irons equalised straight away from a hard low shot by Chris Morris from just inside the opposition area. The Irons pushed for the win and had a great chance one-on-one but Matt Bonners’ heavy touch saw the chance go begging and penalties ensued. Step in keeper Gavin Curry was hot and saved his first two pens, giving the Irons a healthy lead, leaving Miller, Morris, Nicholson and Bonner to score and win the shoot-out 4-2, their fifth win on the trot.
