HAMPTON 1, STAINES 1

BOTH teams tried out players in Tuesday's friendly but actor Ralf Little, who wants to join Staines, was not available due to filming.

Substitute Richard Thompson scored his second goal in two games since rejoining Hampton from Bromley to give them the lead with 20 minutes remaining, but Staines replied two minutes later through Sean Reed, who, together with David Everett, was making his first start following an injury lay-off.

Staines gave a debut to substitute Richard Connelly at right-back, while Hampton included midfielder Luke Jolly, who has rejoined the club from Ashford following the signings of three other ex-Beavers in Derek Bryan, Richard O'Connor and Jesse Hall. Hampton also included triallists Milner and Graham.

Hampton: Bouchez, Cross, Houghton, Inns, Jolly, Rose, Milner, Bryan, Graham, O'Connor, Deegan. Subs: Thompson, Grimm.
