Matlock 0, Halesowen Town 4

HALESOWEN stunned Matlock in their FA Trophy replay, as they claimed a 4-0 victory in Derbyshire last night.

Ben Haseley also made it into the Yeltz record books, as he became Halesowen's highest scoring player in the competition with the two goals securing that last night.

Halesowen took the lead on 27 minutes, as Aaron Griffiths' attempted cross from 40 yards somehow flew up and then over the keeper, hitting the top right corner of the net to leave Matlock in a state of shock.

Matlock didn't really show any signs of getting back into the game after that.

The Yeltz doubled their lead on 61 minutes as Haseley played the ball over the top of the Gladiators' defence and Iyseden Christie was allowed to run through and smash the ball past the stranded Jon Kennedy and into the net.

Haseley then matched Halesowen's top scorer record in the FA trophy on 82 minutes as he nodded in the ball from close range, and then he beaten the record on 85 minutes, as a fantastic piece of team play resulted with him running through the defence an comfortably slotting the ball into the net.

Matlock fell apart on the 80th minute, and Halesowen should have won by more really, with Robert Thompson-Brown and Christie both going close in the final stages.

The Yeltz make the long trip to Blyth on Saturday, November 15 for the Second Qualifying round.
