Winchester mens 1st vs Bath University 3s
Winchester 1st Team through to the next round of the Western Conference Cup after extra time drama.
A ball received just outside the box and quick turn to go along with that, a tame strike somehow managed to find its way into the bottom corner giving Bath the perfect start to the game.
There was not much else to shout about in this game right up until the last couple of minutes when Winchester managed to work the ball into the box and cut it back to Ben Bradford who took one touch to get away from the defender and the next touch was a strike that put the ball into the back of the net to take us to extra time.
Winchester carried over the momentum from that goal into the first half of extra time. Piling on the pressure Winchester found themselves inside the Bath Universities penalty area once again.
A shot, that was straight at the goalkeeper, was parried straight into the path of striker Sam Hunt who had the easiest job to do and slot the ball in from close range to give Winchester a deserved lead.
The goals did not stop there as once again Bradford, the scorer of the equaliser, muscled his way through to take a shot which was once again parried by the goalkeeper straight into the path of none other than Hunt who finished calmly picking up his second of the match and bringing an end to the first half of extra time.
The fourth and final goal and probably the best of the bunch was scored deep into the second half of extra time.
A pure bit of genius from Bradford once again was set up to take a corner and just pass it to onto the pitch for his teammates to keep in the corner and run down the clock.
However, fooling everyone on the pitch he chipped in a perfect cross to Matt Cliffe who chested the ball down by the penalty area and volleyed the ball into top corner to well and truly put the game to bed and to put Winchester through to the next round of the western conference cup.
Captain Dan Atkinson, who was sidelined for this match through injury, said: “we were abit ropey in the first half and at half time we changed some things around and built on it”.
Dan can take all the applause from this one as the changes that were made at half time ultimately won the game for Winchester by the end of the game.
A man threw a chair and threatened bystanders in the centre of Gosport on Friday.
Police say the man, who was behaving aggressively, threw the chair on the ground and shouted threats at nearby shoppers before running away. No one was injured.
It happened just before noon, outside a Greggs Bakery on the High Street.
Hampshire Police say the man was white, bald and in his late 40s. He was wearing a baseball cap and a grey hoodie.
Officers are asking anyone who saw the incident to contact them.
Twelve people were arrested after 350 anti-migrant protestors clashed with police overnight in Gosport following reports of a small boat landing in the area.
A small number of officers needed medical treatment following the protests near Walpole car park.
Assistant Chief Constable Simon Dodds said: “Violence and criminal damage have no part in peaceful protest, our position on this has been clear that we will investigate thoroughly and take robust action against anyone responsible.
“Our officers did not deserve to be assaulted as they worked incredibly diligently on Sunday to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.”
Police had banned face coverings and had issued a dispersal order ahead of the protests across Gosport.
Those arrested were held on suspicion of assaulting officers or being drunk and disorderly.
The protest marks an increase in tensions within the UK after protests at Portsmouth, Taunton, Basingstoke and Glasgow in recent months.
Gosport Reform UK councilor Paul Carter told GB News: “If you think about this last night, no one really knew what was happening… I think a lot of people are really worried.”
People in Romsey are being warned that the town’s recycling centre will be closing for a month for repairs.
The closure of Casbrook recycling centre will take place from 12 October to 12 November.
The council says that repairs are essential to keep the site safe, after heavy vehicles damaged the tarmac beneath waste containers.
Councillor Kirsty North, Hampshire County Council’s deputy leader, said: “We are investing in essential improvements to preserve the surface of Casbrook HWRC (Bunny Lane) and ensure the facility continues to serve residents safely and effectively for many years to come.
“I thank residents for their patience during these works and confirm that capacity is available at nearby HWRCs to ensure residents that usually use Bunny Lane, can still dispose of their waste during this time.”
Locals have been advised to use alternative centres in Winchester and Eastleigh while the repairs take place.
