Spalding in a goal spree,

       Northern Premier League(Midlands Div)⚽

            Sporting Khalsa 1  Spalding United 7

This report is in no way intended to disparage or embarrass the players, officials or members of Sporting Khalsa FC.

The clock showed 1minute 30 secs when the visiting number 9 rattled one in from just inside the area⚽ and United were already looking dangerous, closing down any attempt by the hosts. On 17 minutes United added a second via Winters⚽ and you were already fearing the worst for Khalsa who were being outrun and outfought. The visitors were awarded a contentious(in my opinion)penalty on 36 minutes, duly despatched⚽. Khalsa were guilty of multiple misplaced passes but that was probably down to United not giving them a second on the ball.

On 51 minutes Khalsa pulled on back when their number 11 cut in from the right, beat the defender, took his time and beat the keeper ⚽; was this a glimmer hope ? Sadly for them, it was not as just 8 minutes later they added a fourth via that man O'Sullivan⚽ again and just 5 minutes later Clifton⚽ tapped in a fifth with Khalsa still working but now looking bereft of ideas against such superior opposition. United looked like they still had plenty of goals in them and on 77 minutes they hit a sixth through Graham⚽ who stuck his leg out to divert a shot into the net. The final goal of the game on 88 minutes was indeed a thing of beauty as the Barker⚽ waltzed his way through 3 or 4 defenders and smacked a fine shot into the top left-hand corner.

Khalsa were beaten by a fine side who showed why they are top of the league.
