Havant’s Cinderella run ends.
January 29, 2008
Havant and Waterlooville’s dream run came to an end as they went down to Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield last January 26, 2008 . The Hawks earned the right to play Liverpool in the fourth round by defeating Swansea City last January 16, 4-2.
In last Saturday’s match the non-leaguers made Liverpool work for its victory, even leading twice before being overwhelmed by their mighty rivals. Non-league refers to football played in England played at a level below the premier league and the football league. What’s amazing is that the Hawks are composed of part-timers. The team members hold different jobs ranging from salesman, teacher, personal trainer and garbage collector. Their star scorer is training to be a cabbie in London.
Such stories are the stuff of dreams. Take a bow Havant!
