Waverton 6-2 Saughall

Fantastic performance from the whole team today in a tight match with Saughall!

The scoreline might not suggest it was a tight match but it was only some superb play in the last quarter that saw us pull away comfortably with some delightful goals from Charlie and Ben supported by solid keeping, defensive and midfield play.

The start of the match was very strange in that the first 3 goals were all own goals! Unfortunately Myles, drafted in at the last minute (thx!), scored two of these, although it was great determined play that saw him track back in an attempt to clear the ball. Had he not been there Saughall would have scored anyway so well done Myles for a great effort!

I have to congratulate Alfie for a really superb defensive display today, he got stuck in, made many important tackles, read the game very well indeed and cleared everything that came near our goal!

After going 2-1 down we settled into the game more and Charlie really took hold of the game. In an unaccustomed sweeper role (thanks, I know you wanted to roam forward!) he steadied the whole team, took control of the game and started to spread the ball around and forage forward at every opportunity.

Ably assisted by Leo - who was always in the right place at the right time - and Ben Farley who caused so many problems for Saughall with his running, closing down and excellent dribbling - how quick is he!! Henry added to the forward pressure and we scored a couple of goals early in the second half to take a 3-2 lead into the last quarter.

This is where Ben and Charlie really pressed forward, assisted by Joshua and Harry, and we scored 3 more goals. One of them was a particularly impressive passage of play between Ben and Charlie, playing one-twos to wriggle through the packed Saughall defence with Charlie slotting the ball into an open net. Really fantastic play that drew rounds of applause from all sides of the pitch.

Overall I am so proud of the way the whole team played today, really solid, always keeping shape, breaking down Saughall attacks and progressing up the field with menace! The goals we scored were a just reward for this superb all round performance.

Man of the match: Alfie

Goals: Charlie (2) and Ben (4) shared the spoils.

Cheers,
Andy

Princess Villa 4 - Afc Waverton 3

Result does not show the great performance from all. We played a good organised team ( when we all found the pitch ).

After going ahead from great goals from Dan 2 , Alexander 1 after a great run from Ben White. we could not hold out to the pressure the villa boys who kept on going. ( as a wolves fan that hurt to write )

Thanks to Josh And Ben for sharing the goal keeper role during the match.

All the boys gave thier best and did not stop trying for the whole match.

Thank you again to everyone , the more we train together & play together we will win together.

Thanks again
