Redhill looked forward to this game after coming in from winning 2 on the bounce, but after 90 minutes, it turned out to be a gae they'd rather forget.

Middle road isn't a ground that often favours Redhill, and the Musselmen always prove to be tough, physical opposition.
As always, Redhill started bright. There was an early saved effort from Josh Bonnet after Kule Morgan played in a pass for Leon Dussard who centered well for Bonnet, then Asher Hudson struck a bending shot following a Marcus Elliot header that was a tad too high for him.
Last seasons county league top scorer Andrew Dalhouse found himself on the wing, as he did for much of this match, and he put over a searching cross for Asher Hudson in the box, but defender Nick Fogden cleared well.
Hudson was involved in another Redhill build up when he was very solid in the middle of the park and he made a pass to Bonnet who got a shot in from a 50/50 challenge but the ball fizzed wide.
Shorehams Owen Callaghan who had a very good game for the home side then struck a volley at the Redhill goal, but it was safely in Chris May's hands, then at the other end, Kyle Morgan had an effort that Ronan Callaghan saved easily.
Shoreham had a free kick that was crossed in dangerously towards Liam O'Brien, but luckily for Redhill it wouldn't come down for him.

However, Shoreham took the lead on 32 minutes when Nick Fogden banged the ball into the net following a comedy of errors in the Redhill box. Poor defending allowed Shoreham to take advantage of a cross from a free kick halfway through Redhills half. THAT is how to make use of a set piece.
The game could have changed just minutes from the restart when Redhill hit the post.
Andrew Dalhouse played the ball to Asher Hudson with a sublime pass, and Hudson crossed in low. The ball evaded everyone in the box, and it's uncertain how much Morgan knew about it when he struck it against the woodwork.

Andrew Dalhouse put in a free kick from the right wing. The ball bounced off the top of 4 heads before the chance was over.
Shoreham made it 2-0 just before half time when Dean Smith tapped in from close range following an in-swinging cross.

Shoreham's Owen Callaghan hit a lovely effort at goal that was excellently tapped over from Chris May, then in another Redhill attack, Asher Hudson latched onto a Dalhouse pass and smashed the ball at goal, but Ronan Callaghan saved well low down.
Redhill supporters were screaming minutes later when Kyle Morgan was in on goal. Despite a little pressure from his marker, the question on everyone's lips was "why didn't you shoot?". It's fair to say it's easy on the terraces, we all talk a good game, but in the words of Andy Gray "If you don't shoot, you're not gonna score". Shoreham put in a tackle after Morgan checked back and cleared the danger.
Owen Callaghan had an effort go wide for the home team, then again Redhill's Asher Hudson was on the attack and saw a cross superbly cut out by the defence.
Andrew Dalhosue provided anotehr cross from the wing but Marcus Elliot couldn't quite get there, then Calvin Headley replaced Kyle Morgan.
Marcus Elliot then somehow missed a close effort when he seemed to hook the ball across the goal rather than tap it over the line then a disgruntled Leon Dussard made way for Lee Radford, who, as always, did all he could to change the game, but with little over ten minutes to go, al hope was seemingly lost.
Chris May was forced into a good save from Ryan Bradleys low effort, then Bradley was again on the attack before Radford put in an inch perfect tackle on him.
On the 86 minute mark, it was 3-0. An absoute wonder cross came over for Liam O'Brien to head, unchallenged passed Chris May.
Redhill still kept going until the final whislte, Marcus Elliot had a decent header at the 'keeper, then Calvin Headley struck a free kick that was also well saved. In the final few minutes, Elliot had another header, this one went over and Andrew Dalhouse curled a shot wide.
