Richard Morse has completed the signing of Ollie O’Mahony this week, with Hythe & Dibden confirming the arrival of the forward from AFC Stoneham on Tuesday. Ash Pope had also recently joined the club, and both players made an immediate impact in a convincing 4-0 victory over Petersfield Town.
The two new arrivals went straight into the squad for Tuesday evening's Hampshire Cup clash at the Marquis Leisure Stadium, with Pope enjoying a particularly memorable night in front of goal.
Pope struck a hat-trick, while O'Mahony also found the net as Hythe & Dibden secured their place in the next round with an impressive four-goal victory.
Following the match, the club praised the contributions of both players, posting on social media: "Debut goals from Ash Pope & Ollie O’Mahony topped off a good night's work."
