Home league match
A story of two halves in a game affected by the wind.
Winstanley opted for a 4-4-1-1 formation with a settled back 4 of Barno, Nath, Connor and Patrick and the welcome return of Ethan further up the field.
Strikerz were with the wind first half and it was difficult particularly for the back 4 with the conditions. Strikerz took a 7th minute lead with a goal from outside the box which maybe surprised Glynny. WW did well to keep it to 1-0 and had a couple of chances of our own for Ethan.
Half time 0-1
We knew we would dominate the 2nd half and we did. Wave after wave of attacks but the Strikerz keeper was in amazing form denying at least half a dozen goals. Patrick Harrison’s corners were almost undefendable and eventually one of these told as Matty rose to head in. A few minutes later Dylan flicked the ball into the area and the ref spotted the clear handball. Jack Lappin held his nerve to bury the penalty.
There could have been more Winstanley goals but 2-1 is a welcome win on a day our closest rivals could only draw.
