Goal,Unlikely,Six Points

Defender Jared Hodgkiss scores a late goal to secure a maximum return of six points over the Easter weekend for Kevin Wilkin's team. The team had to dig deep against a strong Bromsgrove side on a difficult pitch.

A goal from the unlikeliest source secured a maximum return of six points from six over the Easter weekend for Kevin Wilkin ’s team, as defender Jared Hodgkiss scored with four minutes of normal time remaining. This was a very different performance from the 3-0 victory over Redditch United on Good Friday, where the Bucks strolled to victory once they’d opened the scoring.

They had to dig deep on a bobbly, sloping pitch at the Victoria Ground, being put under an aerial bombardment by a Bromsgrove side who upset champions-elect Needham Market at the same venue just over a week earlier. The hosts, managed by former Wolves, Blackburn Rovers and England goalkeeper Tim Flowers, employed a direct approach, with strong, pacy runners and an awful lot of height in their team. Flowers has brought former Buck Nate Blissett on board to be his team’s focal point, and Blissett opened the scoring against his old club after 34 minute
