There is nothing worse than having an ex-player having an influence when he comes back to a previous club. So it was in Hampton’s game with Kingsbury Town, in the 15th minute, ex-Beaver, Dwight Marshall ran down the left wing and crossed the ball for Gursal Gulfer to score with a left-footed shot. Ten minutes before half time Marshall fell headlong in the penalty area, chasing a loose ball. The referee, some distance behind the play, awarded a penalty, Greg Zacharia made no mistake in putting the visitors 2-0 ahead. In the second half, Rice had an effort smothered on the line then in the 50th minute, O’Connor put King through who lifted the ball high into the Kingsbury net. That was as close as Hampton got to negating the ‘Marshall’ effect.
