Shot of the Season 21-22: Marcus Hoare

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
