Positive fightback but home hattrick seals the win!

Holwell travelled to Rushden for their first UCL Lge match this season and though the score line suggests a strong home win there were lots of positives from this young Holwell squad as they continue to gel.

With Luke Peberdy and George Coser missing due to injury and suspension, and Mason Lee away on holiday Neil Miller was unable to pick what might have been his first choice side. However those that did play with Joe Williams returning to Holwell did very well and gave Rushden some questions to answer.

Down one nil at Half Time from a Lewis O'Dell opener the visitors did well to get back into the game early second half through a Leighton Nicholson (pictured) penalty equaliser and for a time looked as though they might just go on and take the win.

However a second from O'Dell put the home side back in charge but Holwell were still in it and may well have drawn level again but in a poor finish to the match Holwell let themselves down conceding another from O'Dell to seal his hattrick and one from McMahon which put a real gloss on the score for Rushden and Highem but flattered the home side from the visitors point of view listing two goals in the last five minutes.

However the squad performed well, will gain confidence from a strong performance and move on to the next game which is at home on Saturday 10th August to Aylestone Park FC who got their campaign off to a decent start with a 2-0 win at home to Northampton Sileby Rangers FC.
