In a match that was as intense as it was heartbreaking, Whitehill & Bordon FC suffered a narrow 2-3 defeat against Hedge End Rangers, closing out the bank holiday weekend on a bittersweet note.
The game started on a rocky note for us, as Hedge End Rangers took the lead after just 3 minutes. We came close to leveling the score when Shayne Warren's headed effort from a corner hit the post. However, Hedge End Rangers extended their advantage in the 19th minute, putting us two goals down.
The team showed great resilience and determination, managing to pull one back in the 37th minute thanks to a Dean Worman strike. Hopes of a comeback were alive, but Hedge End Rangers struck again in the 61st minute to make it 3-1.
Not to be disheartened, our lads continued to fight, and Shayne Warren converted a penalty in the 77th minute, making it 3-2. The final 15 minutes were fraught with tension as we pushed hard for an equalizer, but despite our best efforts, it just wasn’t meant to be.
