Justin Donawa ends his goal drought in style as Solihull sink Yeovil

24 April 2021

Justin Donawa ended his Solihull goal drought with a hat-trick in a resounding 5-1 Vanarama National League victory at home to Yeovil.

The Glovers started well but it was Solihull who threatened first, with James Ball striking the base of the far post with a 16th-minute effort.

Moors did not have to wait long to grab the lead, with Donawa – who had not scored since signing for the club in October – nodding home from Jordan Cranston’s corner in the 26th minute.

Ball forced Adam Smith into a fine save moments later and it looked crucial when Rhys Murphy equalised with a neat finish, despite offside appeals, nine minutes after half-time.

Solihull remained on top, though, and shortly after a Donawa effort hit the post the Bermuda international restored the home side’s lead with a clinical finish inside the area.

Moors were rampant and made it three just after the hour mark when Kyle Hudlin headed home Joe Sbarra’s cross before Ball added a fourth in the 83rd minute.

Yeovil’s three-game unbeaten run came crashing to a halt in added time when Donawa completed his hat-trick.
