Acklam entertained Brompton on a decent afternoon at the Acorn Centre

Acklam started on the front foot and pressed Brompton back early on, Alex Hamblen showed his intent early on as he crossed brilliantly to the far post but there was no one their to finish the chance

Stephen Waite and Adam Lane combined to set Alex Hamblen in who’s shot went just wide.

Acklam opened the scoring when Jordan Wales provided the cross from the right wing for Adam Lane to head home at the back post

Acklam increased their lead when a shot from Jack Cubbin hit the bar and was put back into the box for Adam Lane to head home again.

Stephen Waite then chipped the keeper from just inside the area to make it 3-0

Alex Hamblen then added a fourth after latching onto a pass from Charlie Collin

On 23mins Joe Stubley scored a contender for goal of the season when he hit a shot from 30yds out that hit the underside of the bar bounced down and back up into the roof of the net

Adam Lane latched onto a great through ball and knocked it past the advancing keeper to complete his hat trick

Adam Lane then scored another back post header from a cross from Jordan Wales

Half Time: Acklam FC 7 v 0 Brompton Juniors 

Acklam made four changes at half time bringing on Michael Hurndall Michael Bond Josh McDermott and a debut for Lewis Bolland

The change of formation took a while for Acklam to adjust to but it didn’t stop Alex Hamblen increasing the lead even further with a strike from just inside the box

Joe Stubley then played in Alex Hamblen to complete his hat trick and make the score 9-0

Alex Hamblen then turned provider when he crossed for Stephen Waite to score again

Stephen Waite then completed his hat trick as he battled his way through the middle to score

Adam Lane chipped over the defence for Joe Stubley to score his second and Acklam’s 12^th

 

Final Score: Acklam FC 12 v 0 Brompton Juniors

 

A very one sided game in which Acklam did their goal difference the power of good

Credit to the Brompton lads who never gave up and battled to the final whistle

 

MOM: Jack Cubbin ran the show in midfield and was involved in nearly ever Acklam goal
