Tudors see off hosts Taunton in the rain
Hemel Hempstead Town thoroughly deserved to leave a rainy Somerset with all three points from a 2-1 win at Taunton Town on Saturday but it could and probably should have been a far more convincing scoreline than it was (writes Allan Mitchell).
Hemel had already had two good chances before they took the lead on 13 minutes when the lively Charlee Hughes latched onto a through ball that a Taunton defender completely misjudged, allowing the Tudors front man a clear run on goal and he tucked the ball home.
The lead was doubled when Josh Williams’ corner was returned to him on the edge of the box via a poor clearance and the Tudors full back wasted no time in curling it straight into the corner of the net.
Dylan Morgan reduced the arrears for Taunton in the second-half, but the damage was done.
Hemel are seven points off the play-off places and now prepare to host Concord Rangers on Saturday.
