Fine win sees Goring move into third

The opening 20 minutes were evenly balanced, following which Goring took control and on 30 minutes a superb effort from Connor Pomeroy was somehow kept out by the Hunston keeper.

On 44 minutes Hayden Briggs broke up a Hunston attack and followed a fine run down the right with a cut-back to MoM Alex Staines, whose neat pass to Todor Bankov ended with an unstoppable shot from 20 yards to make the half-time score 1-0 to Goring.

On 55 minutes a lovely pass from Jordan Jones found Pomeroy, whose cross to Staines ended with a shot which went just wide.

Richard Kinyua, Jordan Jones and Dave Wilcox all went close before a 65th minute corner by Luke Tate saw Pomeroy head home.

They added a third from a delightful chip from evergreen assistant manager and sub Chris Williams following an excellent pass by Tate on 80 minutes.

Hunston scored a consolation from Tom Pegg to make the final score 3-1 to Goring, who have two games in hand over the leaders.
