In the Southern Football League Premier Division match between Hanwell Town FC and Walton and Hersham FC, the home team secured a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive moment came in the first half when Hanwell Town scored the match's only goal at the 24th minute. Interestingly, this goal came amidst a flurry of attacking attempts by Walton and Hersham, who would have been expected to capitalize considering their slightly superior number of corner kicks, tallying six against Hanwell's five.

Hanwell Town's defensive resilience was apparent throughout the match, as they effectively thwarted Walton and Hersham’s offensive efforts. Although Walton had a marginal advantage in corner kicks, the home team’s defense, likely bolstered by a disciplined approach to set-piece situations, managed to protect their lead. However, Hanwell's discipline was tested with two yellow cards and a red card, reflecting a physical and perhaps overly aggressive approach to maintaining their defensive stand.

In contrast, Walton and Hersham managed to maintain better discipline, receiving only one yellow card. This discipline, however, did not translate into offensive success, partly due to effective teamwork and strategic positioning by Hanwell's defense. The away team's inability to convert set-piece opportunities into goals was a critical shortfall, especially given the relatively even distribution of possession indicated by corner count. This match highlighted how strategic defensive plays and maintaining an early lead can outweigh the frequency of offensive opportunities.
