HUNT BRACE SEALS HARD-FOUGHT WIN

Ben Hunt hit his 14th and 15th goals of the season as the Railwaymen left it late to seal a hard-earned three points away to AFC Queensway.
Barnetby had the majority of the play in the first half but Queensway the clearer cut chances as the sides went in level at the break in what was a tense game in the spring sunshine.
It looked as though honours would be even until O’Callaghan hit a left-foot drive with 20 minutes to go which was only parried by the keeper. Ben Hunt was the first to react and smashed home the rebound.
Substitute Thirkell then hit a thunderous left-foot volley that was well saved, and the same player played a key role in the Railwaymen’s second goal as he chased a seemingly lost cause to the bye-line to centre to Wilson, who in turn set up Hunt who drilled home with his left foot.
There was still time for drama at the other end as Thirkell was adjudged to have handled in the area. Nick Dobbs in the Barnetby goal then pull off a stunning save from a “Panenka” penalty to secure a well-earned clean sheet and his side the three points.
