The gate that August afternoon was 145.
The return fixture was on a Tuesday evening in February when Hanwell completed the double over the Bluebells, winning the game 3-1with Zack Drew scoring Yate Town’s goal and this game was watched by a crowd of 219.
The teams met again on August 16th this season, in what was the third league game of the season for both clubs, and again, Hanwell came out on top – this time by 3-0. Hanwell’s goals were scored by Dan Carr from the penalty spot after 34 minutes, Jordy Mongoy after 62 minutes and three minutes later Alfie Pendlebury added a third.
