Match report

Westwood Jets 2 - 0 Shipley Lions
Sunday 21st September 2008

A wonderful start to the home fixtures. A good lively beginning which saw the boys create a number of good chances but they just couldn’t find the back of the net. Then, in the 8th minute, some excellent work and a fantastic strike by Ellis Wade saw them go 1-0 up. Just before half time Tyler Rhodes went through on goal and only an incredible piece of defending by Shipley stopped him from doubling the score. As ever, Shipley played well, gave the Jets a good game and may have threatened more if it had not been for some superb defending by, amongst others, man of the match Declan Wilkinson along with great goalkeeping by Declan Kay.  In the second half, both teams continued to play well and both had chances but it was hard work again by captain Josh Silson that gave the Jets a 2-0 lead with an excellent goal. A fantastic performance by the whole team - well done boys!
