Hungerford's best leaves Corby trailing
“It was our best performance of the season,” said Wilkinson while Wright conceded that his side could have been hammered out of sight.
Hungerford took their chances well, or rather some of them because they could have gone on a goal-scoring spree had they taken all of their openings.
James Clark and Harry Goodger missed the easiest, and Lee Smith missed one and saw the woodwork deny him from another, while two-goal Mark Draycott also missed the mark when well placed.
But Hungerford had only cause to be happy with the result and the performance. They were a goal up after nine minutes when Corby goalkeeper Paul Walker took out Charlie Mpi after the striker had been first to a Matt Day pass, and Draycott scored from the resulting penalty.
Smith nipped in to meet a Diak John cross midway through the half and Hungerford got their third early in the second period when Mpi battled to the line before setting up Draycott to finish from close range.
