The second home game of
the season and the boys
were feeling confident
playing one of the teams
at the top of the league.
After just 5 minutes
Westbury were ahead by a
great goal from Ben K
after some good passes
from his team mates.
However, the lead was
short-lived after we
conceded not just a corner
but also a goal. Quickly
after the re-start
Westbury lost possession
and went a second goal
down from a superb strike
kicked high up into the
top corner making it
un-stoppable for Harry
Staley in goal.
Westbury soon found
themselves under more
pressure and when their
forward burst through the
defence leaving Harry
Staley one on one it was
surely a second goal for
them?... But no, Harry
made a superb save at the
feet of the player to save
the goal.
Although quicker to the
ball and using the pace of
midfielders Benjamin and
Charlie Q Westbury were
not able to finish good
passes off with a goal.
Half time would give Mick
and Gez the chance to give
the boys a lift.
The
team came out passing the
way they do in training
and with a great cross
from Ben K Charlie W was
once again able to get on
the end of it bringing the
scores level and Westbury
back on a level playing
field (Excuse the pun Mr
Groundsman!!)
Badgers put up a really
hard battle for us but we
kept working hard with all
players chasing the ball
the talking to each
other. The one player who
kept Westbury in the game
was most definitely Harry
Staley who had certainly
had his Weetabix making
great save after great
save!!
The
next goal was straight out
of David Beckham’s back
catalogue as one of the L
and B Badgers players saw
Harry off his line, kicked
the ball and managed to
lob the ball into the back
of the net making the
score 2-3 to the visitors.
With
the game coming to a close
and Westbury having more
attacking play they had a
chance to draw even and
have the result they
deserved but…. a simple
mistake at the back
allowed Badgers in to make
the final score 2-4 which
did not really reflect the
even nature of the game.
Next time boys eh? Well
done to Harry Staley who
had a great game in goal
and was Player of the game
given by the ref.
