Wind Swept and Disappointing
A frustrating afternoon for West End as they played Branston Reserves in a ridiculously strong gale that swept across the page forcing play to remain down one flank in both halves. The home side eventually got the ball into the centre of the field long enough to open the scoring and it was to prove the only goal of the match to stand. West End thought they had equalised as they threw bodies forward late in the game, however the Branston linesman flagged for an inexplicable offside (a player on the opposite side of the pitch to play) and the strike was ruled out. Frustration all round, particularly for Joe Harper who took his frustration out on the pitch… and broke his hand.
Starting Line-up (4-4-2): Matt Hinton; Stephen Pearce, Shaun Hepple, Mayur Patel, Lee Matsell; Jonny Dyas, Glen Wilson, Joe Harper, Phil Lodge; Sam McDonnell, Rich Dungworth
