Hykeham Tigers extended their unbeaten start to the season with a fine 2-0 win over Waddington in Tough conditions. A brace from James Coffey saw the Tigers seal a comfortable win, and make it 2 wins out of 2 in the League.
Hykeham Tigers started with several new and returning faces with Green, and Coffey starting their first league games for the club after their summer moves to the club. The Tigers lined up in their typical 3-5-2 formation, with Kris Nelson filling in for Number one keeper James Pickering in Goal. Matt Wilson, Ian Sievwright, Rob McCusker,Sam Newton and James O'Callaghan making up the back 5. Cameron Robertson, Daniel Daubney and James Coffey made up the midfield and Pete Dickinson and Greeny Started up front.
After a poor first half where neither team could get the crucial breakthrough, Tigers came closest hitting the bar three times, twice from James O'Callaghan who was causing the Waddington side a real problem, constantly marauding down the left wing. At half time the score was 0-0.
Second half was a much different affair, but the game could have much different if Matt Wilson hadnt made two vital interceptions to stop the Waddington left back slotting in from 6 yards. Five minutes later the Tigers took the lead and after some poor Waddington Defending, Coffey slammed the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.
The Tigers then were under pressure for long periods, and defended well. On the break, a free kick from Cam Robertson was flicked on by Coffey into the bottom corner, and 2-0 to the Tigers. This is how the game finished.
