THOSE WERE THE DAYS
August 13th 1994
Isthmian League (Diadora) Division 2
Tilbury 2 Hampton 3
Newbery, Fenton, Prior
Paul Riley; Michael Swan, Jason Fenton, David Crook, Jim Wigmore, Tim Hollands, Rob French, Steve Cheshire, Richard Newbery, Mark Murphy, David Prior (Bobby Watson).
Unused sub; Steve Bates
Hampton took the field for this opening league game of the season, resplendent in Red Shirts and Orange Shorts due to the referee’s concern about a colour clash (which is somewhat ironic as the league sponsors were a Sportswear company). The home side assisted with the necessary change of kit. Newbery, one of five debutants, opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Dean Henry equalising on the half-hour. Spencer Fletcher converted a free-kick in the 47th minute to give Tilbury the lead, Fenton restored parity, after a great pass from Murphy, just before the hour mark. A looping header from Prior, in the 70th minute, secured Hampton’s first opening day away league win since August 1976.
