Shot of the Season 21-22: Marcus Hoare

By Ian Townsend

We asked our fabulous Pitching In Isthmian Photographers to choose their favourite photograph of the campaign, and tell us why it is important to them.


We’ve had a magnificent Pitching In Isthmian season, one which has been illustrated and enriched by the work of a number of brilliant photographers, who have recorded it for posterity. Marcus Hoare brings us his very favourite image of the season.

• When was the image taken (match, event, etc)?

Worthing Vs Corinthian Casuals, 25th September 2021

• Why is it important to you?

This was a highly emotional game being the first game since the passing of my dad. Mo Diallo- pictured- won the game with an injury time penalty.

• Where can we find the rest of your work?

On twitter @marcushoare1 or on Instagram @hoaremarcus

• How and why did you begin taking photographs at football matches?

Kind of fell into it after graduating university with a degree in Natural History Photography. Started off just doing the Under 18s at Worthing back in 2015 and then progressed to do the first team as well soon after.

• What are your hopes for the forthcoming season?

Not really sure what to expect from The National League South . Will be a fun adventure and plenty of new grounds!

If you regularly take photographs at our matches but haven't yet submitted yours, there's still time. Send it to Ian at townsendaround@gmail.com
