Lambourn Town AFC Dominate Wycombe With 5-0 Rout At Home

Lambourn Town AFC welcomed Wycombe to their home ground in Lambourn on the morning of 1 December 2025, with kick-off at 10:00am. The league fixture ended in a resounding 5-0 victory for Lambourn Town, who thoroughly outplayed their visitors over the full 90 minutes plus injury time under the watchful eye of referee Simon.

Lambourn Town deployed a classic 4-4-2 formation, setting up with Daniel Carter in goal. The defensive line featured Alexander Cole at right back, Andrew Patel and Anthony Wallace as central defenders, and Benjamin Stone on the left flank. The midfield was balanced with Henry Collins on the right wing, Joseph Miller and Lucas Bennett occupying the central midfield roles, and James Holloway operating on the left wing. Up front, the strike partnership consisted of Adrian Foster on the right and David Mackay leading the line on the left. The substitutes bench included Michael Rivera, ready to make an impact if called upon.

This 4-4-2 setup was designed to provide defensive solidity through the back four, with full-backs expected to support wide play and midfielders tasked with both creative duties and defensive cover. The wide midfielders, Collins and Holloway, were to supply crosses and key passes to the forwards, while the central midfield duo aimed to control the tempo and link defence with attack. The two forwards, Foster and Mackay, were the primary goal threats, expected to capitalise on chances created.

The match burst into life almost immediately as Lambourn Town took the lead in the third minute. James Holloway delivered a precise short pass to David Mackay, who executed a clever back-heel finish with his left foot from close range, catching the Wycombe defence off guard. This early goal set the tone for the hosts’ dominance.

Just two minutes later, Mackay was denied by a save, showing his intent to add to his tally. Wycombe’s defence was tested again in the eighth minute when Holloway was flagged offside following a well-timed defensive intervention, a decision correctly given by the officials.

Daniel Carter was called into action at the tenth minute, confidently catching a dangerous cross to prevent any Wycombe threat. The visitors’ frustration began to show as they received a yellow card at the 13th minute for persistent infringements, disrupting their rhythm.

Lambourn’s creativity shone through again at the 15th minute when Holloway’s long pass found Henry Collins, who volleyed a stunning right-footed strike from outside the box into the net, doubling the lead. This goal was a testament to the midfield’s ability to launch attacks from deep positions.

Wycombe’s troubles continued as they were booked for diving at the 24th minute, further dampening their spirits. Mackay remained a constant threat, forcing another save at the 38th minute, while Wycombe’s dissent earned them yet another yellow card at the 40th minute.

The first half concluded with Lambourn Town firmly in control at 2-0. Early in the second half, Wycombe’s unsporting behaviour was penalised with a yellow card at the 47th minute. Shortly after, Lambourn made their first substitution, with Benjamin Stone replacing Alexander Cole at right back, maintaining defensive stability.

Henry Collins tested the opposition keeper again at the 52nd minute, only to be denied, but Carter’s full-stretch save two minutes later kept the clean sheet intact. Wycombe’s woes deepened when they were reduced to ten men at the 66th minute after a red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Capitalising on the numerical advantage, Lambourn Town extended their lead at the 67th minute when David Mackay converted a penalty with a precise left-footed strike from outside the box. This goal further deflated Wycombe’s resistance.

Adrian Foster showcased his defensive awareness at the 72nd minute, intercepting a dangerous Wycombe attack and preventing a potential chance. The hosts made their second substitution at the 77th minute, with Michael Rivera replacing James Holloway, injecting fresh energy into the side.

The introduction of Rivera paid immediate dividends as he flicked a pass to Mackay, who executed a spectacular overhead kick from long range at the 80th minute, leaving the Wycombe goalkeeper helpless. This goal was a highlight of the match, demonstrating technical brilliance and composure.

Lambourn Town’s scoring spree continued at the 88th minute when Michael Rivera struck a powerful long-range shot with his right foot, following a short pass from Mackay, to notch the fifth and final goal of the game.

Wycombe’s persistent infringements earned them a final yellow card at the 89th minute, but it was too little too late as Lambourn Town comfortably saw out the remainder of the match to secure a comprehensive 5-0 victory.

This dominant performance showcased Lambourn Town’s attacking prowess, defensive discipline, and tactical execution, leaving Wycombe with little to offer throughout the contest. The home side’s clinical finishing and solid organisation ensured all three points were firmly secured on a memorable morning in Lambourn.
