An excellent game of football was witnesed by just under 0ne hundred people last night as Whitehawk’s first ever Ryman Youth game took place at ’The Enclosed Ground’. Last years Ryman Youth South champions Lewes were the visitors. Both sides started well with Lewes edging posession, but it was ‘The Hawks’ that struck first with an excellent strike from Alain Multini (left) in the sixth minute beating the Lewes keeper with a looping 25 yard effort into the top corner… Both sides created opportunities but went into the break 1-0 to Whitehawk.
Lewes started the second half well, with some excellent movement across the park and were rewarded for their efforts after a communication mix up in the Hawks back four and keeper. With their tails up Lewes continued to press and struck again with a second goal from yet another poor defensive mix up.
In fairess it would have been an injustice to ‘The Hawks’ if they ended up on the wrong side of a 1-2 defeat as they had fully desreved a result and played more than their part in an excellent game.
The game became a fascinating encounter for the last fifteen minutes as ’The Hawks’ pressed Lewes looking for the equaliser and Lewes continuing to hit them on the break with good counter attack play. Hawks were finally rewarded for their efforts on seventy nine minutes when they were awarded a free kick just outside the Lewes penalty area. Kieran Pamment (below) stepped up and beat the Lewes keeper at his near post.
Both sides continued to press for the winner, but for some fine goalkeeping the final result remained hounours even Whitehawk Youth 2-2 Lewes Youth. Congratulations to both sets of players for an enjoyable oppening game of the season.
The Ryman Youth team is in action tonight as we welcome Lewes Youth to ‘The Enclosed Ground’. This will be the first time that Whitehawk have had a Youth side play in this extremely competitive league and if you are at a loose end this evening we very much urge you to support the lads.
Tonight’s game is the opening league game and Lewes are last years League Champions…

The u21’s kept their good start to the season on track with a 5-2 victory away to Horley last night. The team raced into a three nil start in the first half with the first goal coming after only three minutes!
The second half was a much more even affair with Horley showing great spirit as our boys took their foot of the gas. Even with a below par performance in the second half we created enough chances to have been in double figures with better finishing.
The win sees us re-take top spot with a one hundred percent start to the season. Next game Epsom & Ewell at homethis Saturday 3pm ko.
The u21’s travel to Horley tonight in the league. They are looking to continue their good start to the season against a Horley side that have conceeded twelve goals in their last two games.
Kieran said “We are relatively pleased with the start of the season and in phases the team had played some nice football…when we get thge ball down we are a good side and will be a match for anyone. We will not be reading to much into Horley’s recent results as there have been changes at their club and there will be reasons why they have shipped the amount of goals they have. Horley are a well run club and we are looking forward to tonight’s game.”

Wes Tate & Josh Jones bagged themselves two goals each today as ‘The Hawks’ finally ended Hartley Wintney’s hopes of a cup upset. The Hawks carried on from where they left off on Saturday creating chance after chance but failing to make any count, either by poor finishing, good goalkeeping and excellent defending from a resiliant Hartley side. Jaie Brotherton even saw his penalty brilliantly saved by the opposing keeper.
There was one big difference from Saturday and that was, that Hartley did not have the same emphisis on attacking, The Hawks were pretty much camped in their opponents half for large periods of the game. The deadlock was eventualy broken mid way through the second half when Wes Tate slotted home from close range and shortly after crafted out his scond, after some neat footwork in the box. Josh Jones, recently returning from fitness was introduced and bagged himself a Brace as Hartley Wintney’s spirit had finally been broken. Fair play to Hartley for an excellent couple of games and we wish them all the best for the season….
The Hawks will now face Maidstone United in the next round at home on the 11th September… More details on todays game to follow.
Hartley Wintney 2 v 2 Whitehawk – FA Cup Prel Rd – Sat 28th Aug 2010
