Andre Wisdom is playing alongside Haji Mnoga in the centre of defence.

Rumarn Burrell is out on the right wing.

Chance for the Hawks...

60mins: Header goes over the bar.

53: Bit uncalled for. Hawks midfielder Paul Rooney with an over-the-top challenge on Jay Mingi.

Needs reminding it’s a pre-season friendly.

50 mins: Joash Nembhard nearly puts the ball in his own net following cross from Rumarn Burrell.

The youngster shows what a left foot he has has he fires home with a free-kiock from 25 yards.

Worner looked stunned. Maybe slightly disappointed.

Goal - Liam Vincent.

What a strike!
