Match report

Westwood Jets 9 - 0 Norristhorpe
Sunday 15th November 2009

The Jets dominated a game where the ball rarely left the Norristhorpe half. The visitors were living dangerously and relentless pressure from the Jets told as James Leedale squared a ball across the face of goal and Kieran Walton smashed it in. Dominic Anderson did exactly the same after the ball ricocheted round midfield then came to him from the right. The Jets had been practising set pieces and it paid off when Jake Dawson signalled to Adam Perry who returned a short corner to Jake whose spectacular curling shot gave the keeper no chance. Callum Armitage burst through and, while the defenders managed to take the sting out of his shot, it still reached Dominic who turned it in. A Norristhorpe clearance only came out as far the Westwood midfield where Kieran worked it back to James Leedale who beat a defender then sent a low shot past the keeper.

With all the action in just one half of the pitch it was crowded at times but the Jets still tried to play their passing game. James Leedale picked up a kick from Jacob Ashbrook and delivered a slide rule pass to Kieran Walton, who beat the offside trap and slotted it under the keeper. Dominic walked it in after he proved stronger than the Norristhrope defence. Adam Perry, operating on the left, snuck the ball into the penalty area, put it through the keeper's hands and in. Another kick from the Jets' goal found Connor Thompson and a great cross almost allowed Dominic to head in. The keeper had other ideas but could only parry it to James Leedale for the follow-up. Matthew Wardman used his strength to create chances at the end of the game. Meanwhile to took a couple of great saves from Jacob Ashbrook to deny Norristhorpe a consolation goal.
