Hanwell Town earned a spot in the Middlesex Senior Cup Final with a comeback victory over Bedfont Sports on Tuesday (25 February).
After a scoreless first half, goals from George Frise and Tommy O’Neill put the hosts 2-0 up after 70 minutes.
Taylor Miles brought some life back into the game with a 80th minute free kick. Then, after ten minutes without creating much, Joe Waight reacted quickest to poke home from close range.
Bedfont, who play two divisions below Hanwell, came into the game on a run of eight games without defeat. The Geordies were looking to bounce back after their own unbeaten run was ended by Hungerford Town.
Bedfont started the game bravely. Showcasing the quick, confident football that has helped them put together an unbeaten run. Their best chance of the first 20 minutes fell to Tyler Robinson who hit the left post after a quick breakaway.
Hanwell’s first opportunity didn’t fall until the 29th minute. Miles’ free kick from the right was begging to be tapped home but instead rolled through the box before being cleared.
Robinson was clean through again four minutes later. However, this time he forced Sam Beasant into a save.
In the 38th minute, Chaynie Burgin did well to control a long ball forward and play in Chris Regis. The Hanwell midfielder couldn’t quite get enough power on his shot and it was saved by Gary Ross.
Just before half-time, Ezekiel Coker pulled off a back-heel to find Avan Jones on the left corner of the penalty area. The defender then whipped a threatening ball across the box which Ross had to push away from danger.
After a uneventful start to the half, a mix up in the Hanwell defence sent George Frise one on one with Beasant. The midfielder rounded the goalkeeper and opened the scoring for the home side.
Ten minutes later, Jake Woods whipped in a corner from the left and O’Neill met the ball at the front post to double Bedfont’s lead.
After making some changes, Hanwell gradually started to control possession. Still, Bedfont were a threat on the break with their speed.
The Geordies put their foot in the door in the 80 the minute when Miles fired a free kick from 20 yards out into the top right corner.
To complete the comeback, Waight reacted the quickest after Joe Wilson had cut in from the left and fired a shot across goal. The two goals shocked the hosts who had been good value for their two goal lead.
With the scores level after 90 minutes, a penalty shootout was needed to determine who would advance to the Middlesex Senior Cup Final.
Hanwell were perfect from the spot with Miles, Dan Carr, Alfie Pendlebury, Waight, and Wilson showing excellent composure to convert.
George Maxwell put Bedfont’s first penalty wide. Hanwell’s flawless spot kicks meant the home side never recovered despite scoring their next three.
The Middlesex Senior Cup Final will be played on March 19 at Uxbridge FC. The Geordies will play Rayners Lane in the final. This weekend, Hanwell welcome Poole to The Powerday Stadium.
Bedfont Sports have announced that there will be free entry for the Middlesex County Cup semi final on Tuesday 25 February.
We hope to see as many Hanwell fans as possible there to roar the team in this final four clash. The game kicks off at 7.45pm.
Hanwell Town’s nine match unbeaten run came to a disappointing end as they were beaten 2-0 at Hungerford Town on Saturday (February 22).
Two goals from Louis McGrory either side of half-time put The Geordies in an unescapable hole. After a terrible start, the visitors grew into the game. However, they still struggled to create a clear-cut chance after Hungerford were reduced to 10 men in the 80th minute.
The hosts came into the game having won seven of their last eight games. The run had seen them close in on the playoff places and Hanwell were aware of the challenge they’d be facing at Bulpit Lane.
The first chance of the game resulted in the opener. Louis McGrory fired an instinctive finish past Sam Beasant after a scramble in the box.
Hungerford kept the momentum for the first twenty minutes, having numerous other opportunities to double their lead. The Geordies seemed to be struggling with the bobbly, sloped pitch at Bulpit Lane.
The hosts, familiar with the surface, were using a variety of long balls and winning the majority of the duels during the opening 20 minutes.
Hanwell did have the ball in the net with an acrobatic effort from Harry Seabrook following a free kick but the linesman had flagged for an offside in the build-up.
Just before half-time, Hanwell were forced into a change. Rudi Pache was forced off and replaced by top score Jordan Edwards, who started on the bench due to illness.
Things didn’t get much better for The Geordies after the break. Some clumsy defending saw Hungerford awarded a penalty. McGrory stepped up and smashed the ball into the left corner to double the hosts’ lead.
Jordan Rose thought he had scored a third for Hungerford six minutes later but was flagged offside.
Hanwell then made three substitutions over the next 10 minutes and began to grow into the game.
In the 75th minute, Alfie Pendlebury had a big chance to get Hanwell back into the game but stabbed his effort over the bar.
Two minutes later, former Liverpool forward Jordan Ibe was introduced to a big ovation for the hosts. Shortly afterwards, there was a change in mood at Bulpit Lane when Rose was sent off for a foul on Cheynie Burgin.
Hanwell controlled possession from then on but struggled to create anything of note. Burgin did have a decent chance following a cross but mishit his effort hight and wide.
The defeat sees The Geordies drop to 12thin the Southern Premier League South. On Tuesday they will play Bedfont Sports in the Middlesex County Cup Semi Final.
Dan Carr, a veteran of our promotion winning side in 2022, brought up 150 appearances earlier this season.
Earlier this season, Sam Beasant brought up 50 appearances for Hanwell Town.
Congratulations Sam!
Hanwell will travel to Bedfont Sports on Tuesday 25 February for the semi final of the Middlesex County Cup, kick-off 7.45pm.
We hope to see as many Geordies as possible there to roar the team in this final four clash.
Hanwell Town overcame local rivals Hayes and Yeading 2-1 in the Middlesex Senior Cup Quarter Final on Tuesday (February 18).
Hayes did take an early lead through Adam Martin. However, Ezekiel Coker had The Geordies level 25 minutes later.
Then, veteran striker Elliot Benyon turned back the clock to give Hanwell a deserved lead.
The Geordies came into the game against their step 4 opponents unbeaten in eight games. They came back from two goals down against Havant & Waterlooville last weekend to preserve that record.
The visitors had the first shot of the game in the 4th minute when the ball fell to Herson Alves on the edge of the box. The midfielder’s volley bounced awkwardly but didn’t challenge Sam Beasant.
Hanwell had their first chance four minutes later. Joe Wilson made progress down the right and found Benyon in the box. Juliusz Pazio reacted well to save the strikers shot.
Hayes got the opener in the thirteenth minute. A good team move eventually found its’ way to Martin who made no mistake with his finish.
Coker had a lively 25 minutes before finally equalising in the 39th minute. First, a threatening run down the right ended in his shot being blocked.
Next, the striker fought hard to control a ball in the box and finished well. However, he was judged to have handled the ball and the goal was disallowed.
Seven minutes later, Benyon played Coker through one on one with Pazio. The striker couldn’t find the corners with his shot and it was batted away by the Hayes goalkeeper.
Pazio was called into action again 10 minutes later. This time he could only parry Rod Orlando-Young’s powerful effort into the path of Coker. The young striker gratefully smashed home to finally level the game for The Geordies.
Hayes could’ve retaken the lead just before half time when Rocky Williams pounced onto a loose ball on the edge of the box and fired just wide.
In the 52nd minute Coker was sent down the left by Woodcock and won a promising free kick.
Miles’ delivery was cleared but Hanwell won another free kick in the left corner. After a series of unsuccessful crosses, Coker’s eventual shot was blocked.
Coker was back in action again four minutes later. Beating his man on the before crossing. Chaynie Burgin couldn’t get enough power on his header and Mark Amaning cleared.
In the 66th minute, The Geordies took a lead they would never relinquish. Benyon beautifully controlled a cross from the right, beat his man, and smashed a shot in off the crossbar.
Hayes and Yeading never gave up and their best chance to equalise came in the 75th minute. Keano Robinson connected with a cross from the left at the back post. However, his shot was high and wide.
It was a morale boosting win for Hanwell, who had drawn their last three game. Players struggling for minutes also got a run out against a highly competitive Hayes & Yeading side.
On Saturday, Hanwell make the trip to Bulpit Lane to face Hungerford Town. They will play Bedfont Sports next Tuesday in the Semi Final of the Middlesex Senior Cup.
An 83rd minute screamer from Dan Carr saw Hanwell Town come from behind to draw 2-2 with playoff chasing Havant and Waterlooville at The Powerday Stadium on Saturday (February 15).
After an uneventful first half which saw the game played at a slow pace, a Leon Maloney penalty and a strike from Ryan Seager saw the visitors into a comfortable lead just after the hour mark.
Then, Harry Seabrook’s second goal in as many games and a powerful, curling effort from Carr brought The Geordies level.
The hosts came into the game unbeaten in seven games while Havant had lost three of their last five games.
The first chance of the game came in the seventh minute when Harvey Laidlaw picked out Maloney with a ball into the box. The striker then fired a shot at goal, but Sam Beasant was able to divert it away from danger.
Hanwell had their biggest chance of the half in the 20th minute. Alfie Pendlebury’s shot from the right of the box was saved. The ball then rebounded to Jordan Edwards whose shot was heroically blocked on the line by a Havant player hidden amongst the bodies.
Havant responded like a poked bear with two big chances of their own. First, Maloney found Rueben Swann and the midfielder’s first time strike was met by the defiant hand of Beasant.
Next, Laidlaw sent a long ball forward that was chased by Callum Kealy. Eventually the ball set nicely for Seager but Beasant was there again to deny Havant.
The second half started as the first had ended. Then, Rudi Pache, drafted in as a late replacement when Will Hall was injured in the warmup, fouled Maloney in the Hanwell box.
The Hawks attacker converted the resulting penalty and snatched the momentum for the visitors. Just after the hour mark, Havant had their second goal of the afternoon.
Maloney did well to control a long ball forward and slipped a fine ball through to Seager. The striker finally got the better of Beasant by lifting the ball over the experienced goalkeeper.
For the next 10 minutes, the game looked like it was going to go down as a comfortable victory for the Hawks. Hanwell players were showing their frustration and were giving the ball away in promising areas.
Then, after Jordan Edwards was fouled on the right of the box, The Geordies got a much-needed lifeline. Taylor Miles’ set piece found the head of Seabrook and, despite getting a hand to the effort, Havant goalkeeper Ben Dudzinski couldn’t keep it out.
Substitute Coker had a chance to level the game seven minutes later after a powerful run down the right. The striker cut inside but couldn’t keep his left-footed effort down.
Three minutes later, Carr gave everyone in The Powerday Stadium a lesson on how to finish. Edwards did well to hold onto the ball on the edge of the box and it eventually fell to the full-back 20-yards out.
Carr then delivered the perfect combination of power and curl to put his strike into the top right corner. It was another contender in the full-back’s personal goal of the season competition.
In stoppage time, Elliot Benyon almost won the game for The Geordies. A Miles corner from the right somehow found the experienced striker at the back post. His volley was brilliantly kept out by Dudzinski.
The draw sees Hanwell drop to 11th in the Southern Premier League South.
On Tuesday, they welcome Hayes and Yeading to The Powerday Stadium in the Middlesex County Cup Quarter Final.
Due to the recent wet weather, the pitch at the Powerday Stadium is waterlogged and tonight's (11 February) Middlesex County Cup meeting with Hayes & Yeading has sadly been postponed.
A new date will be announced in due course.
A 92nd minute Tom Wright equaliser denied Hanwell Town a hard-fought away win at Winchester City on Saturday (8 February).
In a first half that saw both goalkeepers put to the test, Harry Seabrook’s diving header sent the Geordies into the dressing room with the lead.
Then, after defending well for much of the game, a brief lapse in concentration from Hanwell’s defenders allowed the hosts to draw level in stoppage time.
The Geordies came into the game looking to extend their six-game unbeaten run. In contrast, Winchester were hoping to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Walton & Hersham.
The first 10 minutes of the contest went by without event then, after a brilliant through ball by Wright, Trevor Caborn saw his effort from the right of the box saved by Sam Beasant.
10 minutes later, Mat Mackenzie, Joe Wilson, and Alfie Pendlebury combined nicely down the left and the latter had his shot blocked for a Hanwell corner.
Taylor Miles lofted the corner from the right to the back post and an unmarked Seabrook met the delivery with a powerful diving header to give the travelling fans behind the goal a reason to cheer.
Hanwell could have doubled their lead when Wilson and Pendlebury again combined down the right. The former's looping cross found Jordan Edwards and the striker's header forced a good save out of Luke Cairney.
Winchester had a chance to equalise in the 30th minute. Ik Hill led a breakaway from a Hanwell set play. The ball eventually found its way to George Britton on the right. His cross deflected back to Hill whose forceful shot was brilliantly saved by Beasant.
In the 43rd minute, a long range shot from Max Smith whistled just past the right post. Hanwell had their own attempt at a long range screamer a few minutes later when Mackenzie’s 25-yard volley was slightly wide of the top left corner.
Both sides were out early for the second half, Winchester eager to build on an encouraging end to the first half and Hanwell looking to extend their narrow advantage.
Wilson was lively throughout the game. Just after the restart, the wing-back drove into the middle of the box and saw his shot saved by Cairney.
Winchester then took control of the half and had numerous chances to pull level. Wright’s diagonal shot from the left of the box forced Beasant to use all of his flexibility to reach it.
Britton’s curling effort from the right corner of the box flew over everyone and hit the bar. Hill, Caborn, McCormick, and Wright all had other chances to pull the hosts level.
It looked like Hanwell had just about done enough to seal another away win. This was until the hosts caught the Geordies off guard with a quick free kick. Wright was found on the edge of the six-yard box and the striker’s low driven shot was hit too quickly to be blocked or saved.
The visitors will be disappointed to not leave with all three points after leading for so long. However, a point extends their unbeaten streak to seven games and lifts them to ninth in the Southern Premier League South.
On Tuesday, The Geordies welcome Hayes and Yeading United to the Powerday Stadium in the Middlesex County Cup. Then on Saturday, they face Havant & Waterlooville at home.
Hanwell were held to a 2-2 draw by a motivated Wimborne side on a cold Tuesday night at the Powerday Stadium.
Joe Waight’s brilliant 18th minute strike was cancelled out by Matty Burrows’ effort just before halftime.
Then, after Will Hall’s bullet header had given Hanwell another lead, Jack Lovell finished off a quick Wimborne breakaway to level the scoring once again.
Hanwell came into the game unbeaten in five. In contrast, the visitors had failed to win in their last three contests. However, it was Wimborne who started the quickest.
There were no real chances in the opening 15 minutes and Hanwell eventually found their footing in the game. Some good work from Mat Mackenzie saw Jordan Edwards win a corner on the left.
Wimborne failed to clear the corner, and the ball eventually fell to Waight. The inform striker powered his shot from the left of the box into the right of the goal.
The rest of the half went by in similar fashion to the first 15 minutes with neither side creating many chances. This was until the last five minutes, where Wimborne had a flurry of chances to equalise.
Harry Morgan had the best chance of the half in the 43rd minute. The ball fell to Wimborne’s number 8 just inside the box, but he fired wide.
The visitors eventually got their equaliser in the second minute of first half stoppage time. Hanwell failed to clear the ball and Burrows’ shot from the edge of the box found the bottom corner.
Winborne started the second half in a similar frame of mind. Burrows almost had a double when he fired wide after a pull back from Drew Eccott-Young.
Hanwell weathered the storm and looked like the side most likely to take the lead. A lovely, lobbed pass from Taylor Miles found Waight who forced a good save out of visiting goalkeeper Ben Rodwell.
The Geordies took the lead from the resulting corner. Dan Carr’s floating cross from the right was met with a powerful header from Hall and ball flew into the right of the goal to give Hanwell their second advantage of the game.
The home side failed to build on their advantage and were pegged back again 10 minutes later. Wimborne absorbed some Hanwell pressure and broke quickly. Substitute Matt Neale played a precise through ball to Jack Lovell who beat the onrushing Sam Beasant to the ball and finished into the bottom right corner.
Wimborne had the better of the game from then on as they looked for a rare away win. However, a draw was a fair result with both sides having their share of possession and chances. It will still be a frustrating draw for Hanwell manager Chris Moore, who had to see his side give away two leads.
The draw sees Hanwell remain in 10th in the Southern League Premier South. This weekend, they travel to Winchester to face the side placed 16th.
Hanwell XI: Beasant, Pache, Carr (Esuka 79'), Miles, Seabrook, Hall, Wilson, Mackenzie, Pendlebury (Regis 84'), Edwards (Coker 84'), Waight

2 February 2025: Congratulations Emmerson
Hanwell can confirm that Emmerson Sutton has returned to QPR after the completion of his loan spell.
