Ascot United FC celebrated manager Jamie Tompkins’ 200th game in charge with a 4-0 win in the FA Vase against Little Common.

The game started with the Yellamen starting but Little Common took the ball to the Ascot goal mouth which gave the defence a taste of what may arise in the full 90 minutes.

After two free kicks to Ascot, Brendan Matthew took a shot but Matt Crutwell was well placed to catch the ball.

Walker fouled and Ascot took another free kick. Sean McCormack received the ball from a rebound which came from Matthew’s shot at goal, but went straight over the top with Crutwell out of position and an open goal in front.

Ellis took a shot which reached Bunn but the latter had his shot deflected over for a corner to Little Common.

Then came the surprise move with the ball in the visitors’ end, Harry Grant tried the defence but was thwarted as the ball was moving around without producing anything until Brendan Matthew put the ball in the net as Crutwell had little chance of making a save.

Ascot were forced to defend again then a long wing run sent the ball in and Crutwell made a commendable save and the corner kick was cleared back to mid-field for a free kick to the visitors.

Although Little Common had the ball after the restart within five minutes Brandon Matthew had taken advantage of substitute Louis Bouwers industrial presence near goal and Usman Lalustani provided Matthew the chance to hammer the ball into the net behind the far post.

The next highlight was Matthew’s hat-trick when he took the spot-kick without a problem.

Louis Bouwers went forwards to try a shot but disappointingly missed then Kai Walters was working hard but found space to find Marcus Mealing with time and space in front of goal but further back near the edge of the penalty area and found the net.

Although there were no more goals to come, Ascot pressed to add another one and the visitors sought a consolation goal. Free kicks were traded and the Yellamen waited gracefully until the final whistle.

Ascot Utd.: 1]. Ashdown. (GK). 2]. Lock. 3]. Gerard. 4]. Aganlekoko. 5]. A. Grant. 6]. Tucker. 7]. McCormack. 8]. H. Grant. 9]. Walkers. 10]. Matthew. 11]. L. Bouwers. Substitutes:12. Tompkins. 14. Masters. 15. Greenwood. 16. Welch. 17. Angus. 18. Mealing.
