Sam Evans struck twice in the opening five minutes to set Slough Town on their way to a pre-season victory at Hanwell Town.
The match kicked off with an electrifying start for Slough Town, as Evans quickly made his mark against his former club. Just three minutes in, Evans was put through one-on-one with the Hanwell goalkeeper by a precise pass from Leon Chambers-Parillon. Evans remained composed and slotted the ball under the keeper to give the visitors an early lead.
Barely two minutes later, Evans doubled his tally. Slavi Spasov played a key role, setting up Evans, who finished with aplomb.
The early blitz left Slough in control, and they continued to threaten throughout the first half. A long pass from Scott Davies found Evans again in a dangerous position, but this time he failed to keep his shot on target, blazing over the bar.
The first half ended on a feisty note, with both sides snapping into tackles as competitive football draws ever closer - but Slough held their two-goal advantage, heading into the break comfortably ahead.
Slough made a change at half time, bringing on Josh Jackman for Scott Davies.
Hanwell Town managed to pull a goal back in the 53rd minute with a well-taken low finish into the bottom left corner from Dan Carr after Mat MacKenzie’s ball across to the right.
In response, Slough made a triple substitution just after the hour mark, introducing newest signing Kweku Lucan, Gary Abisogun, and John Ufuah for Evans, Gabe George, and David Ogbonna. The changes paid immediate dividends as Abisogun added a third goal for Slough just two minutes later. Initially, it seemed as though Slough had scored moments before, but the referee waved play on. Abisogun then collected the ball on the edge of the box and fired a neat touch and finish into the bottom corner, restoring the two-goal cushion.
Further substitutions saw Ollie Spicer and Dan Roth replace Slavi Spasov and Leon Chambers-Parillon in the 73rd minute. Slough managed the remainder of the game well, maintaining control and denying Hanwell any further chances.
The match concluded with Slough Town emerging as 3-1 winners, buoyed by Evans' early double and Abisogun's clinical finish. This result provided a solid foundation as the team gears up for their final pre-season fixture against Luton Town’s Under-21s at Arbour Park on Tuesday evening.
