Sincere Hall Scores For Hull City Under-21
Sincere Hall and his Hull City Under-21 teammates exited the East Riding Senior Cup at the semi-final stage, with Hall scoring one of the goals for his team.
The club’s match report said, “Hull City Under-21s exited the East Riding Senior Cup at the semi-final stage after suffering defeat via a penalty shootout. After drawing 2-2 in normal time, which also saw City goalkeeper Tom Macauley receive a red card, the Tigers lost 4-2 on penalties at the Roy West Centre.
“The Tigers had the first opportunity of the game as a quick free-kick was played to McCauley Snelgrove, who evaded his marker with a clever spin. However, his shot from the edge of the penalty area went narrowly wide of the goal. At the other end, Dan Clancy’s lofted effort was high and wide.
“On the 31st-minute, the Tigers opened the scoring as a long pass released Sincere Hall through on goal. The winger drove into the Hedon penalty area before clinically converting his one-on-one into the far corner.
“Hedon equalised just four minutes later as a floated free-kick towards the six-yard area wasn’t fully cleared by the Tigers defence, which allowed Clancy to rifle home from close-range.
“It took the Tigers just four minutes into the second-half to re-take the lead as Hall teed up Nkomba inside the Hedon penalty area. The striker’s first-time effort found the bottom corner, despite goalkeeper Rouse getting a hand to the shot.
“Sellars’ side pushed for another goal as Rouse denied Hall one-on-one before Oliver Green fired over after a good initial one-two between Snelgrove and Hall crafted the opportunity.
“Hedon equalised from the penalty spot in the 63rd-minute as Wood was fouled by Keegan Green in the area. Ryan Whincup stepped up and smashed his spot-kick into the back of the net to level the scoreline.
“Both teams looked to win it in normal time as Kelly saw his attempt held by Rouse while Harry Giles was off-target from range. Kelly was then denied twice by Rouse over the space of eight minutes, with Snelgrove finding the striker on both occasions, before Macauley received a straight red card for handling the ball outside of the penalty area.
“Substitute goalkeeper Ben Voase was immediately called into action to save from the resulting free-kick, which was drilled low and hard from 20-yards out.
“With the game level at the full-time whistle, the fixture would be decided by a penalty shootout. City went first as Oliver Green converted.
“Clancy, Snelgrove and Will Broadley all converted their penalties respectively before Rouse saved the Tigers’ third spot-kick, denying Harry Wallis.
“Joe Start netted his penalty to give Hedon the advantage before Rouse guessed correctly to keep out Hall.
“Substitute Finlay Southcoat then dispatched the winning penalty by placing his finish into the top corner to send Hedon through to the final of the East Riding Senior Cup.”
