Season 2008-09

LEICESTER POLSKA'S wretched bad luck continued with an unlucky 1-0 loss to Hockley Rangers, coupled with more injuries along the way. Adam Dyke and Mark Inglis looked sharp upfront and found plenty of gaps in the Hockley defence, but both went down injured after 20 minutes, and Dyke went off 12 minutes later, whilst Inglis couldn't last the 90 either. Yet Polska were much the stronger side, and passed the ball well for most of the first half. The match was notable for the return of Jamie White for his second spell at Knighton Park, signed on in the morning, and Rich Ellis captaining the side on his 100th appearance for the reds. Chris Eames did such a good job marking Clint Gunn that Gunn eventually switched to the right hand side of Hockley's midfield, and it was here that he finally found some freedom. And that freedom told in the 67th minute when his shot from the right seemed to confuse everyone and ended up in the back of the net to give Hockley a very lucky three points.
