SIYANI Thomas scored twice as Overton United moved up to 13th in the Hampshire Premier League, after a 3-0 win at Headley United.

The home side dominated the game from the start and Thomas (pictured) scored the opening goal after 25 minutes, as a corner was cleared to his feet.

On the hour mark the visitors made it 2-0 as Alex Jupp’s through ball found Nathan Rae. The Overton player then ran from inside his own half out on the left and glided past the last defender, before he unleashed a great shot which flew into the top corner.

Then with 10 minutes left in the contest, Thomas grabbed his second of the game to complete a great 3-0 win.

The visitors still had time for further chances, as Thomas was denied a hat-trick and then Rae a fourth by some great saves by the home goalkeeper.

For Overton 19-year-old centre half Archie Fletcher had an outstanding game against two very robust Headley forwards, who never had a sniff all game.

Captain Kirk Smith, who normally plays in the central of midfield, played at centre back and led by example.

A delighted Overton boss Titch Bloomfield said: “It was a great team performance; we were missing a few and players had to play out of position but all did a great job.

“It was a superb win as Headley are a physical, but fair, side so I was really pleased with the result.”

On Tuesday night, Overton missed out on their chance to play in the Andover Open Cup final, as they were beaten 2-1 by South Wonston Swifts.

The Swifts took the lead in the opening 45 minutes and still led at half time.

Overton levelled things from the penalty spot as Rae scored, after Jupp was fouled in the box.

The winner came five minutes from time, as Overton made their cup exit.

Losing manager Bloomfield said: “This was like their cup final and in the end they wanted it more than we did.”
