Battling Westbury Celtic Reserves once again down to
the bare bones went down 4-1 at second placed Powick
in this Worcester Premier League clash.
Ade Sommers was recalled in goal in place of
the injured Jenkins who joined long term casualties
Heaney and Mcullough on the treatment table as Celtic
were also missing Austin, Maycroft, Brogan,
Tredwell, Ross and Macabe, but to their credit
Westbury gave their all from the start and in a
scrappy first half went behind before the break to a
Brian Craven strike.
It was much the same story in the second period
as the Reserves battled away without creating any
chances and their inability to keep the ball allowed
Powick a lot of possession as they were denied by some
great defending and great saves from Sommers before
crucially getting the breakthrough on the hour when
Cravens strike deflected off the the unfortunate but
excellent Grant Mcullough over Sommers and into the
net.
But this brought the visitors to life as
Rainbow broke through before hitting the bar from
close range and Tony Thompson who bravely battled on
through his ankle problems to drive against the foot
of the post from 30 yards before finally Celtic pulled
one back when Parkinson fired in from Rainbows cross.
But with men committed forward in the later stages Stu
Harvey struck two late goals to seal the points for
Powick.
