AFC Eastney reseves 2
Widbrook utd mens 4
A goal apiece from Jake Hampton and Haydn Williams was not enough to secure Eastney's first points of the season as their wretched form continued at a warm and sunny Bransbury Park this afternoon
Both sides started brightly, with each forcing a few early corners, but it was visitors Widbrook who took the lead in the 7th minute.
Eastney were back on level terms nine minutes later. Dand Bradford's free kick was flicked on by Steve Beech for Jake Hampton to mark his first appearance in his second spell at Eastney with a goal.
A handball in the area on 39 minutes by Stuart Andrews gave the referee no choice but to award a penalty, which was duly converted with Dan Bradford being sent the wrong way to give the visitors a slender advantage goingvibto half-time.
Eastney looked to hit back early in the second half, with Alfie Westrope and Steve Beech both unfortunate not to score, but two Widbrook goals in three minutes left Eastney with a mountain to climb once again.
The hosts were handed a lifeline on 74 minutes with a penalty, but Stuart Andrews was unable to convert the opportunity.
Hadyn Williams did reduced the deficit with 8 minutes left on the clock, but there were to be no more goals, and Eastney were left still searching for their first points of the season.
