How Villa reached the Final

Hanworth Villa were the hosts for Moneyfields in a Pitching In Isthmian South Central Semi-Final on Wednesday evening. Third place Villa finished the campaign only one point above their visitors, but were confident after defeating the Moneys both home and away- and they eased through to the Final with a five-one victory.

The Moneys took the lead on twelve minutes, Alfie Bridgman breaching the best defence in the Division- and in doing so they poked a hornets nest. Guy Ansah-Palmer drew the hosts level ten minutes later, and six minutes after that they were ahead, Brandon Chebby making it two. Just before the break Ansah-Palmer struck again, heading home for three-one, and, despite the best efforts of the visitors, a long distance effort from Ben Mulley made it four six minutes from time. The torture didn’t end for the visitors, as deep in added time Liam Ferdinand added a fifth. 

This will be Villa’s third Play Off Final in four Isthmian seasons. The previous two saw them fall to away defeat, but they’ll be determined to make it third time lucky.
