Makoni died on day he was due to face rape allegations

FORMER Bashley player Clive Makoni died on the same day he was due in court to face allegations of rape, it has emerged. The body of the 26-year-old striker, who had played as a youth for AFC Bournemouth and many Hampshire-based, non-league football sides, was discovered hanging at a property where he had been staying in Kings Somborne, near Winchester, last month. Croydon Magistrates’ Court confirmed he had been charged with rape and two counts of assault by penetration. The Zimbabwean had reportedly been due to appear in court on 20th August this year, but the hearing was

With moments left until the final whistle, Chris Long scored a sublime goal – one of the finest seen at this level. Elliot Eavis picked up the ball on the left before lofting in a high cross to the edge of the area where Long was waiting. The second-half substitute shaped his body before unleashing an acrobatic overhead kick which flew past the outstretched arm of keeper Eyres.

NEW Milton Town FC booked their place in the FA Vase First Round with a resounding 4-0 defeat of Sydenhams Wessex Division One rivals Totton & Eling at the JMC Stadium on Saturday. Conor Jevon scored the first of his two goals just before the break to give his side a 1-0 half-time lead. The other goals came from Ben Cooper and Chris Long, the latter hitting the back of the net with a jaw- dropping bicycle kick from the edge of the area. Totton & Eling had the best of the early exchanges, but New Milton grew into the game as the half progressed. There was an early scare for NewMilton when Ryan Lomax came within a whisker’s breadth of turning Joe Selby’s corner into the net. The home side should have taken the lead with 11 minutes gone when Cooper missed an absolute sitter after an unfortunate bobble caused the number 10 to get under the ball. Milton’s Turner played a superb ball into the area for the ever-dangerous Jevon, fresh from his midweek

His cross into Clarke was decent, but the Totton man’s mishit shot trickled into the arms of keeper Luke Dennison. Moments later, appeals for a

penalty failed to move referee Anthony Smith after Totton’s Clarke fell in the area. The breakthrough finally came on the stroke of half- time when George Richardson showed tremendous industry in midfield to pinch the ball off Matt Hartmann, the number seven slid Jevon through who took his time before smashing the ball under Eyres. Although the first-half

was highly competitive, the second-half was anything but. New Milton came out flying and Jevon soon doubled his and his side’s tally. Turner played the ball into the lethal marksmen, Jevon twisted and turned his marker before lashing a shot into the net. Just two minutes later, Cooper put the game to bed, scoring from 12 yards.

Just two minutes later, Duarte Martins scored on his debut, smashing a penalty high to the keeper’s left. After the match, Brock manager Pat McManus told the A&T: “We’re very pleased to be in the next round. It was an uncomfortable last 10 minutes after Stoneham reduced our three-goal lead to one, but we defended resolutely to secure the win. “We spurned chances to extend our lead with a combination of poor finishing and excellent work from the Stoneham keeper. Until the 80th minute, keeper James Mayo was rarely troubled. “We look forward to the next round now.” In the next round, Brockenhurst take on Street FC at home on 31st October. Man-of-the-match Tickle said: “The game was pretty fast paced and enjoyable to play in. We definitely had the better chances and defended well until the 80th minute.

Captain Will Tickle, making his 217th appearance for the Badgers, scored a first- half brace to put his side in a commanding position. Young Freddie Bullard appeared to put the game to bed with Brock’s third before the visitors rallied with two goals in the final five minutes. AFC Stoneham started the match brightly, and they twice went close to scoring. However, the deadlock was broken in the 10th minute after the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Although the visitors felt hard- done-by, their appeals were in vain. CaptainWill Tickle showed his experience, converting from 12 yards. Midway through the first- half, the referee sin-binned Stoneham’s Callum Laycock for his over-enthusiastic appeals for a penalty after a perceived foul on Scott Hills went unpunished. Their sense of injustice must have swelled after Tickle doubled his side’s advantage. After the break, keeper Tom Parker-Trott denied Tickle a hat-trick with a wonderful save.

Just after the half-hour mark, both sides were reduced to 10- men when Jamie Wilson and Flavio Tavarez fell to the floor with both players appearing to throttle each other. The referee did well to get the game back under control after several play- ers sprinted into the changing rooms when the two players continued their altercation. Blackfield & Langley read - justed themselves quickest to take the lead in the next pas- sage of play when striker River Smith pounced on a loose ball after Poppies keeper Jones kicked the ball against his de- fender.

Luke Cains almost doubled their lead moments later but Bashley keeper Sammy Thompson showed superb anticipation after the Ash man swooped on a misplaced pass. It took Bashley until the 28th minute to restore parity when top-scorer Morgan finished well after a mazy run and assist from McGrath. The goal seemed to swell Bashley’s confidence, and they took the lead from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute after Bunce was fouled.

Two minutes later, Beard got onto the end of a long throw- in before finishing with a net- bulging shot. Almost immediately, he doubled his tally with a short drive past the helpless Jamie Cunningham. After three quick-fire goals, Bashley rang the changes and brought on all three substitutes. However, the momentum remained unaffected, and Bunce made it four goals in 11 minutes with a tidy finish.

Lymington improved after the break with second-half sub- stitute Owen Fee causing the visitors many problems. Just before the hour mark, Hamble came within inches of scoring an equaliser when Jack Nich- olas grazed the outside of the post with a left-footed strike.

Fawley came out looking rejuvenated, and they soon extended their lead after referee James Colley signalled for a penalty when Hartigan was fouled in the area on 50 minutes. Keeper Matty Taylor got a hand to it, but Lawrence’s shot had enough on it to squirm into the net.
