Hayes & Yeading United played brilliantly at Kingfield Stadium to force a replay against Northampton Town.
United were making only their second appearance in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup against nPower League 2 side Northampton Town and went into the match as firm underdogs, however their performance across all areas of the pitch today was perfect, they played out a very solid 0-0 draw and now make their way to a replay at Sixfields Stadium on the 14th of November.
United came into this match quite defensive and hoping to jump on the counter, but they played brilliantly in the middle of the park which really slowed the game down for their opposition who sit 2 divisons above them in 9th place. As a result the first chance had to wait until the 15th minute when A.Nicholls got a chance out of the box and shot well wide of the right post, they then got a second chance on the 26th minute where again Nicholls found space in the area but could only send the ball flying into the back row of the stand.
In the second half there was again very little action, though this time both the main attempts came from United's camp, with the first on the 61st minute where McLean found himself in acres of space between the defenders and was one-on-one with the keeper but appeared to lose his nerve as he shot wide of the post. Then on the 86th minute United terrified the travelling Northampton Town fans when the ball was crossed in to Oyenuga who got in for a diving header but saw it glance wide.
Credit goes to United for their performance today, really punching above their weight and they handled it very well, the Northampton Town fans were really dissapointed with their teams performance as can be understood as they really should of run away with this match, but now we get to watch a replay where United must feel they could get something from it.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Very happy today, the boys did exactly what I asked. At some points I would say we were unlucky not to get the win today but I think a draw is fair."
Northampton Town boss Adrian Boothroyd had this to say: "I understand the fans dissapointment today, but the FA Cup is always difficult, teams know they can cause upsets and always play better than you expect."

The club are delighted to announce two new additions to our club, after long and hard discussions between the board and the manager we have agreed to bring in two new people to help with the growth and future of the squad, due to our hard work in the FA Cup and the slightly improved finances as a result we are able to do this.
Firstly we would like to welcome our new coach Steve Eke to the side, Steve previously worked at Eastbourne Borough for almost 13 years before taking a break from football, we are delighted that we are able to bring Steve into the club as he fits the mold perfectly, he has been signed on until June 2014. Secondly we bring in a hot prospect for the future and one we have been watching for a while, young striker Stimson from Thurrock on a free transfer has also been signed on until June 2014, he is currently out with back injury but we look forward to seeing him compete for the first team.

The Manager of the Month for October has been awarded to Boreham Wood boss Ian Allinson, he has lead his team to three solid victories in the last month, his club have found themselves climbing 8 places in the last month from 15th to 7th. Player of the Month has been awarded to Billericay Towns young striker Alex Osborn, he has performed very well on loan to the side and has surprised fans with his fine performances with an average rating of 7.64 over 5 games.
As we move into November we look back on what has been exciting month of October for the Blue Square South, teams moving up and down all over the league, there is nothing to choose between the top 3 sides in the league who are all equal on points, they are Chelmsford City, Bromley and Eastleigh respectively, holding up the last two places are Farnborough FC and Truro City. At the wrong end of the table is Dorchester Town, Sutton United and Staines Town respectively
At this stage most of the places in the league are still very open for the taking, but a 13 point gap has risen between 5th and 20th place in the league, but otherwise the league remains very competitive.

Hayes & Yeading United put on a great come back, only to see Salisbury score in the last minute to share the points.
Without a win in the last 3 league games United came into this match hoping they would be able to snatch the points against a Salisbury City side who have been playing at around the same ability as themselves. Salisbury City also without a win but in 5 matches were hoping today would break that poor run of form, and it looked very possible but in the second half United fought back and the game ended 3-3.
Salisbury City were the far better side in the first half, controlling the possession and the game, their first chance on goal came in the 9th minute when Sinclair found space on the right side of the box only to see his shot go just wide of the right post. 20 minutes into the match they got another chance this time it was a cross from the left side of the field which sweetly found the head of Collins who was able to head home to make it 1-0.
3 minutes later the ball was crossed into the box and the Salisbury player fell to the floor in front of Wishart, the penalty thought Wishart had brought the player down which caused shock and anger from the United players as replays showed Wishart never even touched the player. White stood up to the penalty and took it calmly into right right corner of the goal and made it 2-0.
In the second half United came out with a much more attacking mentality, their intentions were signaled when Oyenuga took the ball on his right boot on the left side of the box and smashed it into the back of the net to make the game 2-1. On the 52nd minute United were coming forward again on a break after a poor Salisbury attack, Oyenuga ran up the left wing and drilled the ball into the box which found the foot of Hammond who was able to come across the ball and half volley it into the net to make it 2-2.
The second half was mostly United and then 73 minutes into the match in what was almost an identical situation to the earlier goal Oyenuga found himself once again flying up the left wing and drilling the ball in, this time finding McLean who passed the ball into the net to score his first goal for the club and made it 2-3. A minute from time Salisbury City found themselves in space and crossed the ball in from the left flank and found the head of Sinclair who headed the ball and it somehow passed keeper Hall to make it 3-3.
The game was a good one for the neutral, but not a good result for both sides as they have been unable to break their run of results, but it leaves them firmly in the middle of the table with enough points between them and the relegation zone to not be concerned.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "That was a great game for the neutral, but not for me as my heart has only just returned to a normal rhythm, I am dissapointed we didn't hold on after that great comeback but I am happy we did not lose."
Salisbury boss Darrell Clarke had this to say: "We played very well in the second half, but in the second half we really did not show up, we were actually quite fortunate today in some areas but I think we played well enough to earn a point."

Hayes & Yeading United earn a point against a Farnborough FC side that have started this season brightly.
After a great performance against Braintree Town, United came into this game with confidence they would be able to get something even though all the pundits doubted they would, and in-front of a slightly bigger crowd than usual they delivered by earning a point in a 0-0 match against 2nd placed Farnborough FC.
There was little in the way of chances in the match as United clearly moved to a defending setup and mentality in this match, looking to catch their opponents on the break. United got the first chance of the afternoon with Oyenuga getting a shot away but it was well saved by the keeper and parried away to safety. United then came as close as striking the crossbar moments later and no one was on hand to pick up the scraps when the ball fell loose in-front of goal.
Farnborough FC had a single attempt on goal in the first half, which fell to E.Hammond as he ran from the left side of the box but then tried to put hit foot through it a little to much and it went sailing over the bar. In the second half it was much of the same for United with Oyenuga getting a further two attempts on goal in the 59th and 75th minute, both of which forced fine saves from the keeper.
As was said earlier in this article there was very little in terms of chances in this match with United trying to slow the game and frustrate their opponents who would of been hoping for a win to keep up the pressure on 1st place Eastleigh, but after both teams struggled this weekend they have both lost places to their opponents.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "That was a good game after a tough FA Cup fixture, we wanted to avoid losing this match against tough opposition, and we did just that."
Farnborough FC boss Spencer Day had this to say: "We played alright today, if we had of one today with the other results around us we would of gone 1st, but unfortunately you don't win games if you don't make chances."
Haye & Yeading United lineup (4-4-2). Hall, Legg (Cadmore 70), Bygrave (c), Kalama, Brathwaite, N'Diaye, Williams (Gregson 70), Bentley, Webb, Hammond (Cowell 89), Oyenuga

Hayes & Yeading United have smashed their way into the FA Cup First Round Proper with victory over Braintree Town at Cressing Road Stadium
Looking to reach the FA Cup First Round Proper for only the second time in their history, United were put up against Braintree Town who are a division above them, and on the back of two defeats for United their fans feared a hammering at Cressing Road, but the fans who travelled were delighted to see their team perform well and strong and smash their way to victory 4-1.
After two poor performances in a row Martin needed a much improved start from his side against Braintree today, and they came out today looking very different to the side that had lost their last two matches, within 5 minutes they had a shot when Oyenuga struck wide. On 21 minutes Bentley found space in the area and pulled the trigger only to see it will saved by the keeper.
On 28 minutes Braintree got their first attempt when they found space, a cross came in and it was struck from close range and brought an absolutely fantastic save from Hall between the sticks, easily a save of the season for him so far. 34 minutes into the match Hammond found space to run between the defence and a well placed through ball from Brathwaite was inch perfect and allowed Hammond to stretch out and pass the ball under the approaching keeper to make it 1-0.
7 minutes later on the 41st minute another through ball found its way through the Braintree defence and this time around Webb who was well composed to take the ball around the corner and slot it home to make it 2-0. Then on the 44th minute a cross came in for Braintree that looked like it was going to be cleared, but a horrendous error from Bygrave saw him net an own goal which brought their opponents right back into the match at 2-1.
The second half was again riddled with plenty of attempts for both teams with the ball literally going end-to-end non stop, but as they tried to push Braintree found themselves vulnerable and United took advantage of this, on the 81st minute Oyenuga was on the edge of the area and had a pop at goal which was saved, he managed to pick up the rebound and smash it into the net to make it 3-1, and if that was not enough 5 minutes later a well placed corner from Williams found Gregson who headed the ball home to make it 4-1.
After their recent performances today was a great match for United, and they have made it into the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, which not only adds publicity but also desperately needed funds into the club, now they hope for a kind draw as they look to move forward and beat their best result of the First Round.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "The reaction as was seen by the players at the end of the match, it was fantastic today to bounce back after a rough 7 days, and now we look forward to the next match in the FA Cup."
Braintee Town boss Alan Devonshire had this to say: "We played well today, but it is always tough in the FA Cup, and as we pushed at the end we got a bit loose and they took full advantage, good luck to them as they progress."
Haye & Yeading United lineup (4-4-2). Hall, Legg, Bygrave (c) (Cadmore 68), Kalama, Brathwaite, N'Diaye, Williams, Bentley (Gregson 68), Webb, Hammond, Oyenuga (Cowell 83)

Chelmsford City held on to a narrow victory away to Hayes & Yeading United.
Hayes & Yeading United have lost two games on the bounce for the first time this season after many missed chances are rued against Chelmsford City who managed to hold on to a 1-0 victory. Martin came into the game still resting a few players and Hall was dropped to the bench after a terrible match against Bath City.
Hayes & Yeading have proved vulnerable early in matches this season and for the second week running it has been costly, as the first effort in the match 9 minutes in presented the only goal of the match when poor defending off a corner allowed Haines to head the ball into the net with ease. 10 minutes later they had another go this time the header went just wide to the relief of keeper Beasant, making only his second outing since return from injury.
United got their first effort on goal in the 29th minute where Ekim picked up the ball on the edge of the area, unfortunately he missed to the left of the goal and it never really looked like troubling Chelmsford. In the second half on the 57th minute Ekim had another go this time coming much closer to the goal but it just missed the post to go out for a goal kick.
United's best chance came in the 65th minute when Webb found space in the box and forced a great save from the Chelmsford Keeper, unfortunately no one was there to follow up or it would of been an easy goal. United were wasteful infront of goal today, with 9 attempts to Chelmsford's 4, but there big game is this weekend which I am sure has been an ample distraction for the side.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "We actually played quite well today, we just need to be more effective infront of goal. We get plenty of chances we just don't put them away."
Chelmsford City boss Glenn Pennyfather had this to say: "We managed to hang on today which is what matters to me, we got a good early goal and managed to hold out United away from home, good performance today."

Bath City comfortably defeated Hayes & Yeading United at Twerton Park 2-0.
Hayes & Yeading United travelled to the historic town of Bath to visit a team without a win in 5 games in the league, but with an important FA Cup match coming up Martin made a few changes to his side that have had a strong start to this season. Bath City striker Powell had a great game today and he ran United ragged as they came out 2-0 winners.
Powell got his side off to a flyer when he scored the opening goal only 2 minutes into the match, it was a badly defended cross from Ball on the left hand side which floated perfectly to the head of Powell who was waiting to head home from close range. The next effort came the second goal with Powell once again finding plenty of space in the box from another cross this time from Simpson and was once again able to head the ball home.
In the second half there was very little chances as United seemed to move into a disaster prevention mode, but two chances did follow with the first on 67 minutes when Kalama had a chance with a header from a corner only to see it go over the bar, and then just before the end with a chance of consolation, Webb swiped at the ball and it went miles wide.
All in all this was actually a very poor match, United really did not put up a fight against a much better Bath City team on the night, but can United redeem themselves for next weekend when they have their 4th Round FA Cup Qualifier? But first they have a game at home against Chelmsford City.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Terrible, simply terrible, we need to vastly improve for our next match!"
Bath City boss Lee Howells had this to say: "We played really strong today and this result moved us up to 10th in the league which was fantastic, but we need to keep our heads up and push on from here."

Hayes & Yeading United confidently beat Whitehawk FC 2-1 at Kingfield Stadium to progress to Round 4 of FA Cup Qualifying.
Hayes & Yeading came into this game with a much changed squad against lower division opposition Whitehawk FC, happy news for fans at the stadium and at home is that keeper Beasant was on the bench and got around 10 minutes play time today after 6 weeks out with injury. United played solidly to see off Whitehawk FC 2-1 in front of another low crowd.
The first goal of the game came 9 minutes into the match when Hammond received a perfect lobbed through ball from Webb that he took into his stride and almost passed the ball around the corner to make it 1-0, Cowell nearly made it two 25 minutes in but saw his free kick just scrape over the bar to his disappointment. Whitehawks only chance of the first half came on 36 minutes when Newman found space but smashed the ball well wide of the target.
After the break Whitehawk got a goal almost immediately with the games second perfect cross which allowed Araba to take advantage of a rare defensive mistake by United and head the ball passed the keeper to make it 1-1. 12 minutes later United replied with a through ball from Cowell to Williams and the Whitehawk defense were caught napping as Williams was able to just smash the ball into the back of the net.
By the end of the match it could of been 6-1 with the amount of chances that United had, but the Whitehawk keeper well and truly kept the scoreline respectable for his side with United having 14 shots in total with 8 being on target. With this result United move one step closer to their target of the FA Cup to reach the First Round Proper for only the second time.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "We could of got 8 goals today, but all credit to their goalkeeper who kept us out, but I am really proud of the guys today, solid performance."
Whitehawk FC boss Darren Freeman had this to say: "It is always difficult playing opposition that are above you in the English ladder, but I felt today we very respectable, I think we played quite well defensively to hold them back."

Hayes & Yeading United ease to a 1-0 victory in a slow match against struggling Staines Town
United sitting comfortable in the middle of the table played against struggling Staines Town today, all United needed to do was keep their play simple and to the point and it was likely they would come away with victory, and they did just that in a match with few shots on goal and came out 1-0 winners at home.
The first attempt on goal in the match had to wait all the way until the 37th minute, Cowell received the ball on the edge of the area before turning inside a defender and hammering the ball into the top right of the net passed Staines keeper, 4 minutes later they had another go this time Hammond picking up the ball but only able to hit the side netting.
The second half was a carbon copy of the first with little to no action at all, with the only attempt worth mention was Staines only shot in the whole game which was a free kick in the 72nd minute, which just seemed to float into United keeper Hall's hands with ease. This game was by far the slowest and quietest game of the season but United got the job done so they will be happy.
The result leaves United firmly within reach of the play-off places, where as the result leaves Staines one place above the wooden spoon with a lot of work to do if they want to remain in the league, could a change of manager be coming?
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "It was a slow game today, but we got the points so we are happy after this result."
Staines Town boss Marcus Gayle had this to say: "One shot on target in the whole match is simply not good enough, if we want to stay in this league we need to do much better."
Haye & Yeading United lineup (4-4-2). Hall, Legg, Bygrave, Kalama, Wishart (Brathwaite 89), Cox (c), N'Diaye (Stow 89), Gregson, Webb, Hammond (Oyenuga 67), Cowell

The Manager of the Month award has been given to Eastleigh boss Richard Hill after a fantastic month for The Spitfires saw them come away with no loss in all 5 games of last month with only one match being a draw against Dorchester Town. Player of the Month has been awarded to Weston-super-Mare centre-back Matt Villis, he has put in some fantastic performances this month and has made his home crowd really happy.
Another month flies by in the 2012-13 Blue Square South season, as was the case last month Maidenhead United lead the charge even though they have had a rough few games with only 2 wins in the last 5, even on points at the top is Maidenhead United, Eastleigh and Farnborough FC, with the remaining two playoff places held by Truro City and Chelmsford City. At the other end is Billericay Town, Staines Town and Sutton United in the bottom three respectively with Sutton United one of only two teams without victory so far this term.
At this stage in the season it all begins to hot up as we pass the 10 game point and gaps start forming between sides, with plenty more action to come in the Blue Square South, stay tuned!

Eastleigh hang on to 2-1 victory over Hayes & Yeading United at Silverlake Stadium.
Eastleigh came into this match firmly in third position with a point to prove to the teams around them, it was to be a good match up against Hayes & Yeading United who certainly put up a fight to the promotion favourites in the 2-1 loss at Silverlake Stadium.
All of the first half was controlled by Eastleigh, they were controlling the possession, the pace and the ball with relative ease but had little in the way of chances on goal, but the first major chance came not to long into the match on 5 minutes where a bit of sloppy defending almost allowed Eastleigh to score if not for a clearance off the line by Hall, who had not conceded in 205 minutes prior to this match.
Then on the 19th minute Eastleigh were awarded a penalty, much to United's disgust as they insisted the Eastleigh player had fallen to the ground way to easily, as part of the protest Bygrave was booked for dissent, but then justice was served as Hall pulled off a fantastic save from the penalty and managed to clear the ball well clear of any rebound attempts.
The Spitfires finally broke through in the second half in the 58th minute with Fletcher taking the ball onto the chest on the right hand side of the box and half volleying the ball straight passed keeper Hall, who should of done better. Then on the 70th minute Eastleigh had a free kick just outside the box and Fenn absolutely smashed the ball it fizzed right passed keeper Hall who never stood a chance at saving the shot as the home side made it 2-0.
Martin then made a couple of changes and must of issued new instructions as all of a sudden United were in control, as they pushed forward and with pace that was unseen through the match and then on the 77th minute gave the home side a fright when Hammond scored for the second game running to make the game 2-1. Fortunately for Eastleigh though they were not able to build on this apart from a wide effort from Ekim in the last minute and they were able to nervously see out the final 10 minutes.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "It was a disappointing first half in the way of chances but we defended brilliantly, and then in the second half I thought we played really well especially in the last 20 minutes, I would of loved a point today."
Eastleigh boss Richard Hill had this to say: "That was certainly a nervous ending to the match, we played very well up until we got our second goal where we seemed to just slack off a bit, but we came away with the points so I am happy."

Hayes & Yeading United cruised to victory with a 3-0 win against Wealdstone at Kingfield Stadium.
The 2012-13 FA Cup campaign got underway for United today against Isthmian Premier League leaders Wealdstone, United got the good draw of being able to play the first match of the campaign at home which is always a bonus in cup competitions and they duly delivered in front of the small number of dedicated fans with a 3-0 victory where in they controlled the match.
The first chance of the match was in the 27th minute when Hammond shot wide from the edge of the box after a good move through the midfield, then 4 minutes later they were at the other end defending a decent attack by Wealdstone that did not lead to much and Hall managed to just gather the ball with ease. Minutes before half-time the first goal of the game came when Hammond passed through a inch perfect pass to Cowell who was able to slot home from 6 yards.
After the break United were straight back into action with two quick fire attempts on goal, one of which ricocheted off the crossbar and out of play which made it a really nervy start to the half for Wealdstone. Then on the 59th minute United got there second goal with another great through ball by hammond to N'Diaye who smashed the ball home from just outside the box. As Wealdstone started to push to try and save the match in the 84th minute United got their 3rd and final goal when Hammond got what he deserved as he calmly slotted the ball home from the edge of the area.
All in all it was a solid performance for United who move into the 3rd Qualifying Round, but its the end of the competition for Wealdstone who really didn't put up any fight today against a much more dominant United side.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Great FA Cup win for the boys today, taking every game as it comes lets hope we make the proper."
Wealdstone boss Gordon Bartlett had this to say: "It was always going to be difficult today, I am proud of my boys though as we were fighting until the end which is why they managed to get their third goal."

England's most prestigious cup competition is about to begin for Hayes & Yeading United, the draw for the Second Qualifying Round has been made today and we have been drawn a home game against Wealdstone who compete in the Isthmian Premier League, the game is to be played on Saturday the 22nd of September.
The furthest our club has made it into the competition is the first round proper, and it would be a fantastic achievement if we could make it that far again, a small cup run will always be good the club and who knows maybe we could be the shock of the cup as those things happen. We managed to have a chat with Edward Martin and he said. "I am looking forward to our first and my first ever FA Cup game, being drawn at home is always a bonus but we have to play well and hard and hopefully we will make it through qualifying, come down and give us a cheer!"

United returned to winning ways in a fiery match against Salisbury City.
Looking to bounce back after the hammering last week against Dover, Hayes & Yeading entered today's game against 5th placed Salisbury with a point to prove that they would not just collapse after the defeat last week. The match was fiery with 2 red cards and 7 other bookings in the match where both managers disagreed with numerous decisions by the referee.
United got the start they dreamed of as almost the first kick of the game gave them their goal for the afternoon, a smooth Cowell took the ball onto his right foot and just passed the ball passed the keeper into the corner without even breaking a sweat. 6 minutes later they were coming forward again this time with Oyenuga taking a shot at goal which was well saved by the keeper. To finish off the efforts in the first half Cowell had another go at goal but it was off-target and never really troubled the keeper.
In the second half United went into a very defensive tactic, retaining the possession and frustrating their opponents who managed to get no shots on target for the whole 90 minutes of the match. In the 62nd minute Cox had a shot on goal which was well saved, then in a matter of 3 minutes there were two red cards dished out by the referee both in very contentious circumstances with both bookings coming from tackles that appeared to not even touch the opposing players. Salisbury had a single shot in the second half from outside the box which looked powerful however was climbing from the moment it left the players boot.
United manager Martin should be happy with his teams performance today, they did as he asked when he asked, though the discipline in terms of bookings for his team today was quite poor so they are definitely going to need to look at that. But Salisbury will want to find out why they got nothing at all in this game, they were outplayed defensively and going forwards from the first until the last minute.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "We played well today, I was very happy to seem my boys bounce back after last weeks defeat, in all honesty I am dissapointed with the referee today though, but I shall refrain from further comment."
Salisbury City boss Darrell Clarke had this to say: "Quite dissapointed today, we had a lot of possession but we seemed to do nothing with it, but the referee makes the sheet look bad today, Martin and I have discussed the number of bookings and will be talking to the right authorities.."

United's unbeaten run came to an abrupt end at Crabble Athletic Ground against a far superior Dover side with May getting a hat-trick.
Dover Athletic went into today's match as favourites, and they put on a performance that showed why. The Whites were strong all over the pitch today and never missed a beat through the game, as United tried to mix it up to get themselves back into the game they left gaps which let May in as he scored a hat-trick for the home side.
United appeared to start the game quite well, 6 minutes in the made the first opportunity of the game only for Lewis to smash the ball high and wide and no where near the target to the disappointment of his manager, and then 10 minutes later he did the exact same thing again which caused Martin to come to the sidelines and get his side to calm down and work the ball more.
But then 3 minutes later as the match entered its 20th minute Dover had a free kick which has been a weak point for United this year and as has been the case numerous times there defending was poor which let May get in and score his first goal of the match. He nearly made it 2-0 just before half time but his shot fizzed passed the post to the delight of Hall in the United goal.
The second-half was all Dover, everything was in the United half. 3 minutes after the restart May got his second goal with ease as he split the defence and hammered it home from close range and then on the 64th minute he appeared to do the exact same thing again that would have a bystander thinking it was just a replay they were seeing, but unfortunately for United it wasn't and it brought the game to 3-0.
United were really lackluster today and didn't show any spark of the performances we have seen from them so far this season, now they need to go back to camp, think about the match and bounce back.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Furious, today's game was an absolute shambles, we did not deserve anything from this game."
Dover Athletic boss Chris Kinnear had this to say: "We played fantastic today, we came into this game with confidence infront of a good home crowd and we played fantastic, all credit to the boys."

Slow game between Hayes & Yeading United and Havant & Waterlooville ends 1-1 at Westleigh Park.
Tuesday's late kick off between United and The Hawks was predicted to be a strong victory for United based on the way both teams have started this season, but with Martin having to make many changes to keep his players fresh it allowed The Hawks to get into the game and give a real go to try and pull themselves away from the relegation zone.
The first opportunity of the match presented the first goal 14 minutes in, when Palmer received a long ball through the middle of the park that just ripped apart the United defence it was all too easy for him to just take it on the chest, two touches and then smash it passed the keeper into the roof of the net. The next notable effort was in the 34th minute when United moved the ball forwards to the edge of the box and Oyenuga took on the shot but unfortunately did not catch it cleanly so it rolled wide of the goal.
As has been the case in a lot of games for United so far this season the second half was quite slow, with them being 1-0 down a lot of people would of expected them to come out all guns blazing but they appeared calm and content on just playing their normal game, wearing out the opposition as they go, and it worked because in the 83rd minute Oyenuga found himself in loads of space in the box and just tucked the ball passed the keeper with ease. United then almost stole all 3 points in the last minute if not for a poor effort by Hammond.
That is another away match without a loss for United who will be very pleased with the start they have had, they went into this season hoping to finish in the top half of the table and so far they only find themselves 2 places below playoffs with only goal difference separating them. At the other end though Havant & Waterlooville have a lot of work to do if they want to stay in the Blue Square next season, but its early days and time will tell.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Another really slow game today, I would of liked our boys to get more chances than they did and more possession would be nice, but they achieved what we set out for them so no complaints today."
Havant & Waterlooville boss Lee Bradbury had this to say: "Really disappointing, we looked to be taking all 3 points but we knew the threat of United today as they did it last week too, and we just weren't quite good enough at the back."
Haye & Yeading United lineup (4-4-2). Hall, Legg, Bygrave, Kalama, Wishart (Brathwaite 64), Cox (c), Bentley, Williams, N'Diaye (Gregson 84), Oyenuga, Cowell (Hammond 64)

Rumours that are coming out of the Hayes & Yeading United camp say that coach Edward Martin has asked the board to line up a parent club so that he can bolster his ranks with youngsters who have points to prove, this doesn't come as a surprise after Martin was only able to capture four loan players during the transfer window after many of his deals fell through due to funds and players willing to move to the low league club.
Many Premier League clubs use feeder clubs to send out their youngsters to game some match experience whilst also helping out the team, it also gives lower league clubs access to potential future star players, most loans from parent clubs to feeder clubs come with no fees to the feeder club with the full wage usually picked up by the parent, all in all its quite a good setup for the lower club.
We managed to catch a word with club captain Sam Cox who had this to say. "This is the first I am hearing of this, though none of the boys would have any problems with some youngsters with drive coming into the club as we will be left short if we sustain injuries through the season. We are trying to bounce back after last season and we have started really well and have full confidence in the coach."
We have reached out to the club for official comment, though have not heard back at time of publishing.

Yeah it has been a pretty good start after a torrid pre-season, but that was prior to my appointment at the side. I like the idea of starting at the bottom and moving your way up through the management "ladder", gradually gaining respect (hopefully).
Yeah its been a pretty good start, wasn't expecting to start so well after the pre-season, but very early days yet.

Gregson snatched a point for Hayes & Yeading in a game where they were off the pace.
Hayes & Yeading came into this match after a 2-0 win against Basingstoke and on the back of a 4 four match unbeaten run and sitting 6th in the table, and their opponents Welling United came into this match after a 1-1 draw against Sutton United having only lost 1 match out of the first 4 but not having won a single game and found themselves sitting in 16th.
Welling United had a dream start to the match when Lafayette took the first chance of the game 9 minutes in and shocked United by putting it in the back of the net to make it 1-0 to the away side, after this Welling controlled very little possession but managed to keep the threat of United at bay and conceded very little efforts on goal and saw out the first half 1-0.
After the restart Welling United got straight into action with a shot on goal that was well saved by Hall, and then on the 53rd minute had a contentious penalty given but the striker never looked confident on the spot as Hall stood strong and parried the ball away to continue his fine run of form between the sticks.
Towards the latter end of the second half Martins team really started applying the pressure with numerous shots on target, all of which were well saved by Welling Uniteds keeper, but then on the 85th minute Gregson found himself in room in the box and struck the ball into the bottom right corner to save the day for The Missioners and keep their unbeaten run going to 5 games.
Looking at the stats of todays game a draw is a fair result with each time sharing their own piece of good statistics, with Hayes & Yeading controlling possession but Welling having more shots on target than their opponents.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "Today was a tough game for us, but thanks to Gregs we managed to get a late equaliser that I thought was never going to come. However we really need to work on our discipline as the yellow cards will become costly.
Welling United boss Jamie Day had this to say: "I am really disappointed to only come away with a point today, I feel we did enough in this game to seal all 3 points, but we just could not see it through."
Haye & Yeading United lineup (4-4-2). Hall, Legg, Cadmore (c), Pele (Bygrave 56), Wishart (Brathwaite 72), N'Diaye, Stow, Williams, Gregson, Hammond, Cowell (Oyenuga 83)

Hayes & Yeading United take all the spoils against Basingstoke Town who were poor in front of goal.
Coming into this match unbeaten in the first three matches would be considered a pretty good start for new man Edward Martin, this was their 3rd match in 6 days and they played as strong as ever against a Basingstoke side who really did not look like they were going to get anything from today's match.
The first two efforts of the match were taken by Basingstoke early in the first 15 minutes of the match one of which made Hall produce a fine save, for the remainder of the half all of the traffic was in the Basingstoke half as Hayes & Yeading piled the pressure on whilst having very little possession, Hammond struck the crossbar on the 31st minute of the match after a fine effort.
One minute later Cowell received the ball from a throw in and ran around two defenders and hit the ball home to make it 1-0 to the away side, not even 10 minutes later Webb received the ball from a fantastic free kick and climbed highest to head the ball home from 6 yards to give his side a 2-0 lead heading into half time.
In the second half Basingstoke tried to slow the game down and control possession, they did control much of the possession with a final statistic of 68%, however all this possession did not lead to anything and it just resulted in the game being played out with little to no pressure for either side in the second half of the match, a single effort stood out as Hall was forced into a fine save from a close range volley.
Extending The Missioners unbeaten run so far this season to 4 games, there fans and board will certainly be happy with the start made by new man Edward Martin, but with a long way to go in this season everything is still up for grabs but signs are good so far for the club.
Hayes & Yeading United boss Edward Martin said: "We played very well today, we did not have as much possession as I would like but what counts is what you do with the possession when you have it and our boys used it well." He also commented on the current match congestion. "I think the match congestion for us has been terrible, 3 matches in 7 days is really poor, but we played well and pulled through without a defeat, credit to the boys.
Basingstoke Town boss Jason Bristow had this to say: "I am very dissapointed in our performance today, we did very little to capitalize on the possession we had today, very dissapointed but all credit to United as they played well."
