Goals : Lewis 2, Warner 2

The Wombles had a full squad to choose from which I’m sure had nothing to do with the fact that they welcomed bottom markers Westone to Dally Park! The last game had only finished 1 – 0 so any complacency would be punished. The club are also thankful for Murray “Jeff Winter” Gascoyne for reffing for us (and putting the cash in for fines!).

The Wombles started reasonably well with Trussler deciding against playing in front of defense and instead playing behind Eason! The Wombles duly took the lead when when Lewy got on the end of a Warner cross and (just about) managed to bury it with his left foot from close range. It was soon 2 when the excellent Nathe chased down a long ball, forcing the last defender into a mistake, before slipping home.

The Wombles let in a goal on the break just before half time leading to the usual team shuffle, this time taking our best midfielder (Truss) and putting him up front – you do the math!

The second half was pretty much similar to the first with more goals from Lewy (pen after making the most of a tackle in the box) and Nath with a solitary reply for the opposition.

Nath could have had a hat trick hitting the wood work and having one cleared off the line, and it was another solid performance from the Wombles.

This is the latest match report ever so I will try to remember what happened!

Following on from last weeks defeat to Hartwell which included conceeding 4, the Wombles decided to tighten up playing a 4-1-2-2-1 formation with Truss playing the libero position and Lewy tucking in alonside Joe to provide more cover for the back 4. With the first teams game called off due to a lack of players the Wombles decided on a like for like replacement with Seaton replacing Ali on the left, and Blacky taking up a place on the bench.

The Wombles entertained Division 1 high flyers Maggies Reserves, and probably had the better of the game with Warner causing problems down the wing and Lewy enjoying the midfield battle.

Unfortunately it was Maggies who took the lead when Bugsy was caught dreaming about wedding things, allowing his man to cut inside him and finish. It was soon 2 when the Maggies midfielder got a yard of space outside the box and powered it into the top corner.

Half time came and Seaton was switched to right wing and immediately saw more of the ball, dovetailing nicely with Nasal down the right. Blacky was introduced as sub for an unhappy (and drunk) Ronnie Johnsen and the result was instant as Warner added a goal from close range.

The Wombles went on to have a number of good chances including hitting the bar and having one cleared off the line. It wasn’t to be though and Maggies progressed to the next round. A return to form for the Wombles with a return to solidity in defense particularly pleasing.
