Heath Hill finally picked up their first point of the season with a draw against fellow strugglers Premium.
After a shaky first five minutes Heath Hill settled into the game well and dominated all the early play. The passing was good and several chances came their way. It came as no surprise when they took the lead. Mudie headed across goal, from a Davey free kick. The ball fell into the path of Debaes who finished well from close range.
Premium were limited to a couple of long range efforts as Heath Hill continued to dominate. Ugiagbe was quick to pick up on some hesitant play in the Premium defence, he was hauled back in the area by the defender and Parry stood up to make it 2-0 from the spot kick.
Heath Hill were forced to change the back four at half time , with Dixon coming on for Davey. Within 2 or 3 minutes of the restart Premium pulled one back. Soon after Premium picked up on some poor defending and the strikers shot levelled the scores.
Heath Hill weathered the storm and played their way back in to the game and with some better finishing they could have and should have taken all three points.
On the positive side the performance today, was again much improved from earlier in the season . Tremendous effort was given by all and the signs are that we are slowly turning things around. Well done to Nick on a great debut and well done to man of the match Sam Groves.
