Westbury started the game well with some early pressure seeing a goal from Charlie W from a cross by Ben K.  Malvern responded by putting pressure on Francesco and Harry at the back who held out well until Malvern broke through to score an equaliser making it 1-1.

With Westbury back on the ball they were playing well as a team with passes from Charlie W and Harry Stokes giving opportunities in the Malvern goal area.  Charlie Q saw his shot go just wide whilst Benjamin kicked toward goal only to have his shot deflected wide also.

Malvern responded to the pressure stringing passes together making Harry stretch to try to save the shot which unfortunately ended up in the back of the net, 2-1.

With the first half coming to an end Malvern hit a great shot which sailed passed everyone and would have given even Van der Sar trouble making the score 3-1.

To close the half Westbury pressurised the Malvern goal-line getting 2 corners, taken by Charlie Q right into the target area.  Both were missed by the attackers going across the face of goal but the pressure did lead to an own goal leaving the score 3-2 at half time.

The second half saw Westbury coming out fast with plenty of good passing play between the whole team.  Pressure was building when within the space of just 5 minutes Ben K and Charlie Q put shots against the post and Alistair had his shot saved by the keeper.

In response, Malvern attacked well and earned a free kick.  This was asking for another great save from Harry Staley, he didn’t disappoint and kept the team in the game.  Westbury broke forward from defence with passes from Francesco to Charlie Q who passed back to Harry Stokes on the edge of the box who shot hard toward goal.  Benjamin’s head gave a great deflection to level the scores to 3-3.  A great strike from defender Harry.

In the dying minutes of the game Ben K made a crucial tackle on the edge of his own box coming away cleanly with the ball.  The referee awarded a free kick to Malvern Town.  They scored, taking the kick quickly and with no time left to come back from this the final score was 4-3 and a disappointment for the boys who had played so well and deserved a draw.

Player of the game was Charlie Quinn.
