After the disappointment of last week’s game being stolen from them the boys were ready in their minds to take on this team.  With Harry Stokes away from defence and ¾ of the team having spent three days away from home with school only time would tell whether body would match the players’ minds!

The early play was promising from Westbury with good passing between Alistair in defence to Benjamin in midfield and we seemed to be dominating play.  With little talking going on the boys soon made a mistake giving Welland an easy 0-1 lead, which went a little against the run of play.

The recent residential school trip was beginning to show as a jaded Westbury team gave another easy goal to the visitors making it 0-2 before half time.

Second half saw Declan come on in defence and make some crucial tackles to keep Westbury in the game.  The boys settled into their passing game and broke through the Welland defence with Charlie Q passing to Benjamin who was unmarked on the edge of the box and held his head in disbelief as he saw his shot go just wide of the post!

Nearing the final whistle Welland were able to pass the ball well and got behind the Westbury defence leaving Harry one on one and unable to stop the goal as the final score became 0-3.

Not the best performance (in my opinion – the author!!) of the Westbury Youth team but with half term coming at just the right time let’s hope the break brings back their winning ways!  Player of the game not yet known.
