Shot of the Season: Paul Hynes

We’re asking our fabulous photographers to send in their favourite image of the Pitching In Isthmian season and explain why it’s important to them. Paul features the legendary Derek Asamoah

[b]When was the image taken (match, event, etc)?[/b] This is Derek Asamoah playing for New Salamis away at Redbridge on the 30th of September 2023. [b]Why is it important to you?[/b] Redbridge just seemed to play New Salamis a lot this season and Derek, although not in the first flush of youth, was always a handful. Busy, mobile, alert, quick and difficult to pick up, with movement and touch which demonstrated his class as a footballer. It’s important because it demonstrates the athleticism of a senior player, and what hard work and dedication can achieve in prolonging a career, but more so because although Derek left the club before the end of the season, they recently announced that they would no longer be able to maintain the first team. Sadly, in more than one way the end of an era.
