Westbury Wanderers 4 vs 6 Real Wood

 Westbury Wanderers 4 vs 6 Real Wood 

15 of us made the trip to Backwell for our second 3^rd division fixture and the hope of getting some points on the board. Everyone looked the part in our new kit and we played an excellent game fully deserving our victory. In the absence of Felix to provide goals, Jimmer stepped up and netted 3 times and generally hassled the opposition defence earning the Man of the Match Award. 2 assists and a goal for new Jim plus having a kit that fits made him another happy bunny. Dan was terrific from the moment he came on and added a goal himself but surely the pick was Les’s angled shot into the roof of the net to finish off a move of probably 100(?) passes which worked triangles from the left back position to the opposition 6-yard box. This was the icing on a tremendous captain’s performance from Les. Special thanks too to Matt Pat who despite a genuine case of man-flu turned in another fabulous performance. There were excellent performances throughout but it’s also worth mentioning the 2^nd half marking job Tom did on the opposition’s danger man which greatly weakened their goal threat and when it came Louis was also on great form batting away everything and then terrifying us all with his penalty area antics. A great win. 

(Obviously the down side of having an ample squad means that sometimes some of us don’t get on the pitch as much as we’d like. We were better at rotating the substitutes this week but can improve especially by people saying when they are blowing a bit and feel we could use some fresh legs. The upside was we had more men than the opposition and looked strong and resilient at the end despite Westbury throwing everything at getting something from the game.)
