Goals : Lewis 2, Warner 2
Mom : Lewis and Warner
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.
