The Wombles made the short trip to Acre Lane to find a coffee stall had been erected to allow coffee club to relax before the match and with Nasal sat outside the laundry waiting to pick up the kit at 10am, it’s a good job too! The Wombles were looking to build on last weeks victory against a Nene Valley side whose form was very similar to their own with some good and some bad results.
The Wombles took a while to get used to the exceedingly small pitch with a few long passes either going straight through to the 7 foot keeper or into the car park. On such a small pitch big kicks from both keepers (even Kris!) were key to the game with Jase winning every single header it gave the Wombles an excellent platform to build on.
It was the Wombles who took the lead after some concerted pressure when a Ronnie cross was dropped by the keeper on to wing wizard Weaves knee, and he doesn’t miss from there! The Wombles continued to play well with the front two combining well and Lewy and Truss performing well in the middle.It was soon two when a cross over was calmly volleyed into the top corner by Berba who was too lazy to even celebrate!
Half time came and went and the Wombles continued where they left off with Ady calmly finishing a one and one and Ronnie adding a late fourth after an excellent team break. Looking across the park everyone played well and the team looked to have found a really solid spine. Next up is title challengers Grasshoppers which will be a real test for the club.
