Racers lose unbeaten record

A depleted Racing Club lost their unbeaten record on a wet afternoon at the Heather St John Stadium. Ash Buswell and Tom Reynolds were still sidelined and this seasons centre half 'curse' was compounded when Checketts was forced off early with a groin injury. Racing had the best start of the sides with shots from Morton and Smith forcing saves from the Hinckley keeper Whitcombe, before Checketts left the field with the groin injury. It was just after the half hour mark when Hinckley took the lead. Cooper’s corner was met by James Williams at the near post, who gave his side the lead with a downward header. But the game was back on level terms just six minutes later when Morton took full advantage of a loose ball just inside the box, unleashing a fine strike beyond Whitcombe’s reach. The Racers had what seemed like very valid penalty claims turned down in first half stoppage time after a collision between Whitcombe and Jamie Smith, and the sides went in all level. The rain continued to hammer down onto the surface after the break, and Warwick almost went ahead with a strike poked beyond Whitcombe but just wide of the post. Hinckley continued to see plenty of the ball as the half wore on, but couldn’t break down the resolute visiting defence. Cooper flashed a shot wide of the far post and Lee Butler drove over the bar as Hinckley tried to force a second. It was a second goal that would come eight minutes from time, with James Williams heavily involved again. It was from his wonderful turn and cross from the right that Peter Williams curled a header inside the far post. Agar, with two minutes to play, cut in from the left and benta shot inside the far post to add a third. In stoppage time, Agar turned from scorer to provider as Seal latched onto his through ball and slotted past Edward Caviezel-Cox for a fourth.
