Match report

Westwood Jets 11 - 1 Westend Lions
Sunday 27th September 2009

The Jets were able to stretch their legs and pressed Westend all the way for a very watchable win. They set up camp straight away in the Westend half with Lewis Goldsborough and Ross Kelly making mischief in midfield. The breakthrough eventually came when Connor Thompson took charge of a goalmouth scramble. He was soon joined by James Leedale who made a short individual run from the left then beat the keeper. Connor struck again from further out with a skillful lob. Dominic Anderson weighed in with a man-of-the-match-winning hat-trick. He turned the first in as a right-hand corner found him at the far post; the second was a penalty after Connor Thompson had been brought down. A cross-field ball from Adam Perry was then worked up for Dominic to tuck in for his third. He then charged through towards the box and, with a big, dipping shot, finished the first half with four goals. While the forwards built up a lead, it was maintained with great defensive cover, particularly from Matthew Wardman and Patrick Henry at centre back.

The second half was a quieter affair. James Leedale returned the Jets to scoring ways as a Westend clearance found a Westwood player. Callum Armitage worked the ball through central midfield to Adam Perry, who made a little space then fired in a left-foot shot. Substitute striker Kieran Walton turned in another corner. Then Jake Dawson stepped up to take a free kick, placing it perfectly to pick out Kieran, who had lost his marker, to help it home with an audacious back-heel. Once again, Jacob Ashbrook had a great game in goal - he is really coping well with the changes this season - and restricted the visitors to a single consolation.
