HUNGERFORD were a minute away from dropping their fifth point of the week when substitute Harry Goodger blasted home the stoppage the winner that kept them five points clear at the top of Division One South and West of the Evo Stik League Southern.
They had shown no signs of suffering a hangover form their home beating at Merthyr’s hands early in the week, creating a spate of first half openings and scoring twice.
Scott Rees, Luke Hopper and Mark Draycott all went close before Draycott broke Cinderford’s resistance on the half-hour mark when set up by Ben Pugh’s cheeky back-heel inside the box.
And all was going according to plan when Luke Hopper collected Jon Boardman’s pass and rounded goalkeeper Alex Harris before calmly tucking the ball home.
But sloppy defending gifted Scott Wilson a walk-through goal before the break and Hungerford never regained that first half poise afterwards, despite making a couple of good openings.
Substitute Lewis Sommer missed a chance for the visitors before Luke Brewer attempting to cut out an Andy Lewis cross, could only turn the ball into his own net.
That goal could have deflated the home side, but they found enough to stage a late rally and after Bradley Gray and Draycott had efforts beaten out, the ball fell to Goodger to blast home and return his side to winning ways.
