Redhill got their season back on track with a four-goal blitz against Banstead at the Brow.

Saturday, 29th October 2022

After two disappointing results, one in the Premier South and one in the FA Vase, Redhill got their season back on track with a four-goal blitz against Banstead at the Brow. They ran their local rivals ragged in the first half, Max Oldham and Fred Hill firing in a succession of inviting crosses, but only had one goal to show for their dominance.

On 24 minutes Carl Oblitey received a pass with his back to goal and a clutch of defenders behind him, quickly turning to slip a peach of a pass through to Yannick Monga who ran on to guide a shot wide of busy 'keeper Charlton Hopkins and into the far left corner.

Banstead are having a difficult season, propping up the Premier South table with only two points, but they threatened to equalise during a good spell early in the second half. Redhill needed a second goal to settle them down and it came with a classic on the hour. Amine Sassi, who had just had a free-kick superbly tipped round by Hopkins, curled a left-wing cross towards the far post, Oldham nodded the ball down and Oblitey smashed it in.

Ten minutes later it was 3-0. Captain and Interim Manager Antonio Simeone, standing near the edge of the penalty area, cleverly headed a corner forward into the six-yard box where the alert Oblitey back-headed the ball into the net for his eighth goal of the season.

The visitors pulled one back with Tobi Shoyoye's spot-kick for a foul but five minutes from time the Lobsters made it four, unmarked substitute Jason Kaate sweeping the ball home from a perfect Oldham cross.
