Hackney Wick FC stormed to a 3-0 victory over third-placed Hutton in the cup, despite making eight changes to the lineup. The match saw 16-year-old goalkeeper Teddy Gerveux make his senior debut, a proud moment for the young keeper who has been with the club since the age of eight. Gerveux celebrated the occasion with a clean sheet.
A number of reserve team players stepped up, and Hackney Wick produced a surprising result, running riot with goals from Christian Munganga, new signing Issa Sidibie, and Leo Pola, who played in midfield and scored the goal of the match—a stunning volley from outside the box.
This dominant win gives head coach Ernest a welcome selection headache ahead of this weekend’s top-of-the-table clash against Harlow.
Final Score: Hutton 0 - 3 Hackney Wick FC
Scorers:
