AFC WAVERTON 5 WPARK 1

It speaks volumes for the boys at how far they have come that they were visibly disappointed with this result. They were a little sloppy and should have come out as clearer winners and also disappointed to have conceded a goal but there is no need to lament a clear victory. Elliot started the scoring off with a well taken goal beating the offside trap very well and Motty scored his usual quota of 2 and Jordan Sheen has now started a habit by scoring not once but twice.
Well done on another victory.

v ELTON - not sure if it was home or away

A hard fought victory by the boys who never stopped all game despite looking a little lacklustre at times. Motty scored another fine goal to put us into the lead but important to mention the teamwork in the build up play. Jordan scored a second and the whole team rejoiced for him - it was particularly pleasing to see the team being so pleased for him and surely a huge enjoyable moment. The game was made a bit more tense by the many free kicks Waverton were giving away around the box - unnecessary and dangerous from one of which Elton scored a good headed goal. The referee had an excellent game. Motty's persistance and pressure created the third to bring his tally for the season to 10. The strength of the team though is the sum of its parts and everybody played their part - well done!

Rossway

A very hard fought victory against a strong Rossway side. Definitely deserved as Waverton managed to stay on top throughout the majority of the game combining some excellent goalkeeping with stubborn defending hard working midfield display and some exquisite attack play. Without the mental strength shown in this display winning would definitely not come as easy. A little more clinical in taking the many chances we created would have given the team a little more breathing space. Rossway struggled to make many chances but when they did they found a resolute goalkeeping display and a solid defence. Each and every individual player played to a very good standard - Ben made some vital saves and the defence of Lawrie, Sam, Dave and Dan were as solid as they have been all season - the midfield duo of Gregfor and Jordan never stopped all game linking defence and attack and creating some good moves with the two wingers Max and Dom, who worked hard to create many chances. Another superb goal from Motty who showed his determination to get to a through ball ahead of the Rossway defender and cooly lob the goalkeeper and another tireless display from Elliot who was unfortunate to hit the post from a corner move. Nick provided good cover in a game difficult to make too many changes. A good all round display - well done!!

A big squad for this game so those who start as subs I would once again ask for understanding - there is no particular reason for doing it this way and I will do my best to get you on for the 2nd half

Can we remember the training points in regard of the full backs working hard to support the winger - the wingers to work hard to support the full backs and midfield  and Mike and Gregor to carry the responsibility of the midfield and to think of your shape constantly so when the play is forward on the right for the left hand side to mover more centrally and vice versa.
