Hanwell Town manager Chris Moore berated the officiating in his side’s 1-1 draw with Winchester City, despite snatching a point with a last-minute penalty.

Ollie Griggs opened the scoring early for the visitors, before Hanwell had a second-half goal disallowed for handball to leave the Geordies staring down the barrel of defeat.

But Jordan Edwards dispatched an injury-time penalty after Winchester handled in the box to steal a point from a tense affair at the bottom of the Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South at the Powerday Stadium.

Moore was especially aggrieved when Alfie Pendlebury, off the back of an FA Trophy hat-trick last week, thought he’d equalised on 75 minutes, but the referee adjudged that the ball hit his hand in the build-up.

Moore said: “How the referee has disallowed that I’ll never know. We’ve all had bad games, but he wasn’t good today for either side.

“I can count on two fingers the good referees we’ve had this season. I’m bitterly disappointed.”

"We had the momentum, and if that goes in with 15 minutes left, we go on and win the game. We deserved three points.”

However, Moore was equally frustrated with his side's home performance.

The Geordies have just four wins from 14 games this season as they sit 16th in the table, with three of those victories coming at home to underline the importance of picking up points in West London.

He said: “You need to win your home games in this league. They defended well but did we have enough endeavour?

“There’s definitely progress, and last season we definitely lose that so it’s important for keeping the momentum.”

An inspired Ezekiel Coker substitution at halftime swayed the game in favour of Hanwell, and Moore was hopeful, especially with the performance of Queen's Park Rangers loanee Emmerson Sutton, that there is more to come from his side.

Moore said: “He [Sutton] was a bit lost upfront, but he was a threat every time he got the ball.

“The squad is really good at the minute, and it will get even better when the lads with injuries come back.

“Sometimes when there isn’t that competition, people go through the motions.”
