90+3’ FULL TIME

In an assured performance New Milton Town breezed past Fawley AFC, the game could’ve been very different if Fawley had taken their chances but they didn’t.

The Linnets will be happy with that performance, and the Oilers will be looking to go back to the drawing board.

🔴 3-0 🟡

90’ GOAL!!

And if it wasn’t game over before it is now, Number 7 Cal McHalo finishes emphatically on his weaker foot into the top left corner

What a performance from the left winger and he deserves that goal.

He’s made his case to start next week as he’s completely changed this game.

🔴 3-0 🟡

And it’s an instant impact for the youngster and New Milton’s second.

Super sub McHalo is involved again as he takes on his fullback and keep the ball in play the ball is played in to Lane, who has the job of putting it in the net and make no mistake it was unstoppable

86’ FOUL

A harsh yellow card is given to New Milton’s number 4, for a 50/50 collision and the players are not happy.

The free-kick after amounts to nothing though and the goalkeeper comes to claim for the Linnets

March 22, 2025 at 4:43 PM
83’ SUBSTITUTION

Here comes Fawley’s second sub,

Number 9, Roberts, makes way for number 15, Dylan Knight

It’s one striker for an attacking midfielder.

Still 🔴 1-0 🟡

The New Milton substitute winger, McHalo has been electric since coming on.

March 22, 2025 at 4:26 PM

BAD FOUL AND CHANCE 63’

The Fawley left back has not had much help today, commits a bad foul and the free-kick nearly crosses the line after a MASSIVE mix up in the 6yd box.

🔴 1-0 🟡
March 22, 2025 at 4:23 PM
A chance for Fawley 59’

The Fawley captain has the chance to shoot but just like the Oilers other shots it goes wildly off-target.

🔴 1-0 🟡
March 22, 2025 at 4:18 PM
59’ MASSIVE CHANCE

The ball falls to number 20 for New Milton, Bartlett, JUST inside the 18yd box but the midfielder skies it!

A huge chance to waste especially as Fawley have started the second half 10 times better than the first

🔴 1-0 🟡
March 22, 2025 at 4:15 PM
57’

A rather uneventful start the second half, a cheap foul is called against the New Milton striker, and the ball flies straight through to goalkeeper Bull’s hands.

🔴 1-0 🟡

45+3

It’s been coming all afternoon here, and New Milton will go in at half time with a well deserved lead.

A superb first half from New Milton, but the Fawley Coach will not be happy with that first half.

🔴 1-0 🟡
March 22, 2025 at 3:50 PM
With three minutes of added time, New Milton are looking to stay high and keep Fawley in their own box.
March 22, 2025 at 3:48 PM
43’ GOAL!!

New Milton finally break the deadlock after just a few minutes of keeping the ball in and around the Fawley box, the shot comes in and captain Brad Snelling gets the follow up with a calm precise finish into the bottom left corner, 1-0!
