Match report

Westwood Jets 5 - 2 Silsden A
Sunday 2nd March 2008

The Jets kept up the pressure at the top of the table with this fine performance. Adam Perry launched a ball across almost the full width of the field to Jake Dawson, whose return was every bit as good, dropping to Adam's feet behind the defenders for him to score the first goal. It was well worked and deadly accurate, all the more impressive with the strong wind gusting round the ground. The second goal was a combination of Joe Allan's shot, Jake's header, finally getting turned in by the Silsden keeper. A high ball from the Westwood defence was headed on by Adam right into the path of Ross Kelly, who sprinted throught to score.

The second half was more even and Silsden pulled a couple of goals back before the Jets regrouped. Kieran Walton finished a strong move through the centre. A couple of turns in the Silsden penalty area saw Adam Perry lose his marker and make the most of the space he created. Meanwhile, Finley Richardson and Joe Allan stood firm in defence, aided by Lewis Goldsborough  and some cool goalkeeping by Jacob Ashbrook. Joe was man of the match.
