Westbury Wanderers 4 vs 6 Real Wood
15 of us
made the trip to Backwell for our second 3rd 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 2nd
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.)
