Clenchwarton End West Winch's 100% Unbeaten League Record

<p>After convincingly knocking&nbsp;them out&nbsp;of the League Cup, Clenchwarton inflicted more heartache on West Winch by eventually ending their unbeaten run in the league.

<p>From the off, Clenchwarton set about the Winch players, showing the confidence gained from&nbsp;the impressive run of results that has placed them in the semi-final of the League Cup and within touching distance of the top of the table.

<p>This&nbsp;fixture is always an entertaining one for the spectators, with both sides passionate and commited.&nbsp; The pitch played it's part - slippery and quite bobbly and requiring a serious amount of concentration from the players. &nbsp;The first half seemed to pass in no time, with a solid performance from the midfield ensuring that the home side controlled most of the play.&nbsp; Numerous chances were not converted by Clenchwarton however, with a great header from Karl Brown just going over the bar from a Kodie Turvey corner.&nbsp; Lewis Jeavons and Jordan Turner both has opportunities from the edge of the box, only to put them wide.

<p>The best chance of the half came from some lovely interlinking play from Josh Murray, Karl Brown and Jordan Turner on the right.&nbsp; Jordan eventually put the ball in to Kodie, who superbly held off, and then turned, his defender.&nbsp; He lashed the ball, only to see it go straight to the keeper.&nbsp; This was a feature of the match, with the Winch keeper positioning himself well for most of the home sides attacking.

<p>Half Time 0 - 0.

<p>The second half saw a couple of changes in personnel.&nbsp; This changed the complexion of the game a little for the first 10 minutes, with Winch becoming more of a threat.&nbsp; However, the resolute defence of James Winner, Ed Brown, Alex Havers and keeper Brad Palmer showed no sign of letting anyone get a sight of goal.

<p>Eventually, Clenchwarton got to grips with the changes and started to reassert themselves.

<p>55 minutes, and the deadlock was broken.&nbsp; Luke Reid picked up the ball on the edge of the box.&nbsp; He laid it out to the right, where Josh Murray picked it up.&nbsp; He then cut inside and smashed the ball towards the far left of the goal.&nbsp; the keeper started to move to his right, only to see the ball hit a defender and ricochet off to his left.&nbsp; It was, however, no more than the home side deserved.

<p>A few minutes later, and Winch have their first real chance on the Clenchwarton goal.&nbsp; A simple ball through to the home sides defence ended up with a mis-control, allowing the ball to pass through.&nbsp; An alert Winch player pounced on the chance and took the ball forward, one-on-one with Brad.&nbsp; However, he laced the ball well wide&nbsp;- panic over.

<p>As the game progressed, the temperature of the game raised as Winch asserted pressure on the home side in search of the equaliser.&nbsp; A foul was conceded 40 yards out to the away side.&nbsp; The Winch player lined the ball up, only to see his effort fly well over the goal.

<p>Clenchwarton comfortably saw the last few minutes of the game out to close the gap at the top of the table to 3 points, with a game in hand on the leaders.&nbsp; All to play for still.

<p>Full Time 1- 0.
