Second half
Eastney kicked off and this half has been a bit sloppy by both teams typical Sunday league second half
Hill head had first attempt on goal but came to nothing going wide
He was sent and both teams were not performing very well started to be a bit of a sloppy game Eastney did not come out for the second half as well as they started the first half
After about 12 minutes, East started to pick up the paste but then Hill Head had a counter attack on goal and unfortunately, one of their players was taken down just inside the area for a very soft penalty and on 16 mins hill head scored it to make it 1-1
It seemed to fire Eastney up and they started taking control again when we’re all over Hill Head
Then on 20 mins Eastney had a good counter attack towards Hill Heads goal and up stood Eastney main man again Victor ebhodaghe who took a hard shot on goal from 19 yards out and scored with a ferocious shot which no keeper had any chance of stopping?
The rest of the half seem to be more even with Eastney slightly on top and coming to the end of the game he got very nerve racking for easily trying to hold onto the lead which they eventually did do to walk away with all three points and a 2-1 win
Man of the match was hard to pick, but it was given to Dhaval Javani

Eastney lifted the curtain on their 2025/26 league campaign with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Gosham at a damp Farlington this morning.
The game was less than a minute old when Eastney made their - and the games - first attack, and won a penalty, which was duly converted by Callum Broad.
Eastney continued to play some good football, looking easily the more settled of the two sides, and it was little surprise when they took advantage of some poor Gosham defending todouble their advantage on the quarter-hour mark, with David Louth setting up Callum broad for his second goal of the match.
Just five minutes later it was three. There seemed little danger when Jack Fletcher fired the ball into the box, but the ball somehow slipped straight through the hands of the Gosham keeper to give Jack his second goal in as many games.
Eastney, now three goals to the good, seemed to take their foot off the gas a little, which allowed the hosts their best spell of the half, but the Eastney rearguard held firm, and the visitors rarely looked in any kind of danger.
Callum completed his hat-trick 5 minutes before the interval after being set up by some fine work from Harry Giles, and the first half ended with Eastney in a commanding lead.
The hosts improved a little after the interval, but the damage had already been done. Eastney were not as much of a threat as they were before the break - but in truth they didn't need to be.
They restricted their hosts mostly to half-chances and managed to create some opportunities of their own, managing their game well enough to ensure that a Gosham comeback was never really on the cards, but without looking like racking up a cricket score.
An unfortunate injury to Callum cut his afternoon short on 76 minutes and led to a re-shuffle and a handful of substitutions that eventually saw a rare outing for player/physio Marcus Deakins, albeit in an unfamiliar centre-forward role.
The enforced changes made little difference though, as the visitors comfortably saw out a goalless second half to claim their first 3 points of the season.
