Hempnall FC

Damien Didwell looked powerful and will score many goals, but today, had only half chances

Header not powerful enough, and into the keeper's arms by Barnes

Ramsey's MOM performance typified by this header away

Barnes usually supplies a good photo!

Apart from one glitch, Szalek looked good

Good calling and catching by the Hempnall keeper Bunn

Quality work from the defender

Bardesley so close to converting but good work from the Kirkley keeper

Just in frame, Didwell unleashes a shot from an acute angle

Another corner, but keeper deals securely with it

Barnes stretches but the ball ends up in the keeper's hands

Superb free kick didn't bend quite enough and hit the upright....

Bardesley gets himself in the picture, clearly disappointed not to score, Hempnall then try and convert the rebound. Guess what- Kirkley survive, the shot goes over!

Didwell just couldn't turn or even back heel, the ball again ended up in the keeper's arms

Ramsey beats the opponent and then tries a bit of wing play

Didwell flicks the ball on but nothing came of it

Again, the ball didn't quite fall for Barnes, just unable to stretch and convert

Another all action performance from our Captain, Player

A rare corner by Kirkley was dealt with

Haynes performed well in midfield

Typical of didwell who worked hard all afternoon

Another quality performance by the player who has become our most consistent

Effort from Barnes who again looked really mobile

Aerial pose, this time by Player

Appearing to win the ball cleanly, MacFadden adjudged to have fouled

Hempnall keeper gets in a punch at a Kirkley corner

Good action, typical of the match

Haynes shot comfortably clears the bar

Didwell tried everything but it wasn't his day for scoring

Bardesley looked likely to get a shot in but couldn't quite get the angle

Another corner, Haynes not quite tall enough

Again Barnes not able to get enough strength behind the header

Midfield tussle and, of course, Player comes away with the ball

Overall good performance by Szalek

Ramsey heads across goal at a corner, Kirkley hold out though

Barnes up well yet again, but again, unable to get sufficient strength behind the header

It WILL come, Barnes though again not quite able to get the necessary power into the shot

Hempnall never gave up, and should have had consolation goals, but it wasn't their week for scoring

Yet another chance for Hempnall, Pretty could n't control the shot which blasted over
