Northchurch FC 1 vs 1 Wendover men's FC

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; display: block;">Game 7 of the season: league match: Northchurch FCv Wendover Mens FC

<p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; display: block;">Wendover went into this game top of the table and still with their 100% record in tact. Saturday's host had won promotions in their previous three seasons and have real aspirations to do so again this year. <br />On a sunny but windy day and on a pitch that more resembled a down-hill ski slope there was a real lack of quality from either team in the first half, but with Wendover playing the first half going up the slope the 0-0 half time scoreline gave us the slight advantage going into the second 45.<br />Within the first 5 minutes of the re-start the first bit of real quality finally gave the game some much needed spark of life and it would be Wendover's ownTom Sheppard who produced a fine solo effort from outside of the box to riffle in a shot into the bottom right hand corner of the Northchurch net. 1-0 to the black and golds and all records looking set to stay.<br />Unfortunately not long later a slight mix up between Wendover centre backs saw Northchurch get back into the game with a back post header.<br />A real shame with the Wendover back four, Renato Nicolo Passaro, Tom Newman, Craig Johnson and man of the match Alex Grover looking solid and deserving of a clean sheet.<br />From here the game really fizzled out and 1-1 would go on to be the final score although Wendover did have their chances to win it late on.

<p style="margin-top: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px;">Wendover reserves picked up their first win of the season on Saturday away to Oving Fc with a 2-0 win so a massive well done to them and long may it continue.
