Walthamstow 1-2 Gorleston

A long pre-season didn’t help Stow as they fell to Gorleston.

Stow’s keeper Hafad Al Droubi almost gifted Gorleston the lead when he air kicked, but he was able to recover and set Stow on their way. The home side broke and we’re ahead thanks to a goal of the season effort from Louie Johnson, who curled in a loose ball from the edge of the box.

Gorleston came into the game though, and levelled from the spot after Kevin Songolo bundled over Joseph Duffy who converted from the spot.

You’d have thought Stow would have come into the second half with a bit more gusto, but were behind after just two minutes, Duffy converting from the spot again.

Stow had the ball for the entirety of the second half, but created nothing and Gorleston were worthy winners.
