Away league match
By Connor Buck (injured captain of WWJFC)
After a strong pre-season today was the first league match against a Strikerz team who beat us 5-1 last year.
Due to many different reasons, we were left with only 11 players in terrible conditions facing a team who had 3 subs.
An even match at the start with the boys battling well and we created several opportunities with Dylan and Joe leading the line with good movement. We just couldn’t get a goal against a decent keeper. Tackle of the match just before half time with Jack Cunliffe sliding in to save a certain goal.
0-0 half time
Going uphill 2nd half, and no subs, we thought we might be up against it. In the 45th minute Matty Makin played a high ball through to Dylan who took it down well, got a rebound off the keeper and finished into an empty net (1-0)
Shortly after, Luke Bird passed it through to Matty who dribbled from right corner of the box and powered it into the corner. (2-0)
It could have been more as we controlled the game but then Michael Glynn was called into action with a great point blank save. Then Strikerz scored when their forward ran unchallenged through the middle of our defence and lifted it over Michael Glynn just crossing the line before Jack C could clear (2-1).
Still time for Barno to get booked and a turned down penalty appeal for Strikerz and we held on for a deserved 2-1 win.
Man of Match was given to the whole team for the great shift over the 80 mins.
On to Wednesday and the big Winstanley derby ..,.
