The ball rolled to Connor Davis. The Hastings midfielder was calm in the center circle.
[> "And we're back underway," <] Michael Harrison announced. [> "Hastings Coastal Academy with the kickoff, leading 2-1 here in the Coastal Arena." <]
Davis touched it back to Ben Williams. The midfielder was already looking for options.
The crowd was loud. Seven thousand voices creating a wall of sound.
[> "What an atmosphere," <] Peter Walsh observed. [> "The Coastal Arena is rocking." <]
Williams played a safe pass to Jake Thompson. The midfielder controlled it well.
Thompson looked up and saw Dylan Foster making a run down the right wing. The pass was simple but effective.
[> "Hastings starting slowly," <] Michael Harrison noted. [> "They want to keep possession early." <]
Foster had space to work with. Declan Whittaker was tracking back, but the full-back had time.
The cross came in high. Aimed at Marcus Price in the 18-yard box.
