                                0 Sutton United   Vs Hednesford 0

             A good defensive performance by Hednesford locked Sutton out for the entire ninety minutes. It took thirty five minutes for either team to have a good chance on goal when a Dave Harlow's long throw found Sammy , Sammy couldn't control the ball and laid it off to Aiden Newhouse, who's shot crashed against the underside of the bar and he couldn't direct the rebound goal wards. Five minutes later Nko found Aiden on the edge of the area , Aiden spun round and set up Dack who's shot only just went over the bar.

     After the break Hednesford look more lively and in the fifty third minute Scott Goodwin won the ball from Andy Riley and took a shot at goal which curled wickedly toward goal but the ball crept wide of the target. Sutton tried to make the most of the superior possession but couldn't find any hole's in the Hednesford defence. In the sixty fifth minute Sutton won a free kick on the edge of the area, the ball was swung into the area by Sear's which the keeper tried to punch to safety but his punch fell into the path of Harlow but his shot was blocked by one of the Hednesford defender's , the goal was still unmanned and when the deflection fell to the feet of Dack most people in the ground would have thought the score was about to change but Dack's shot went wide.
