Wirral XI v Reaseheath College

On a bitterly cold afternoon down at the Oval, the first team squad all got back into action following the Xmas brea, exams, interviews, injuries and illness.  It was the first time for about 6 weeks they had played together.  Reaseheath arrived ready to play with ten players and with their new addition Jay Elias and Phil Taylor in the second half we had a good game.  The Reaseheath side possessed considerable pace and skill at times.

It was good to see though that a patient build up and good passing opened up their defense for Lyness to score the opening goal past a hapless goalkeeper.  That lead was doubled just before half time. It was not until their start player who roamed from centre back with pace out shone past our defense and slotted past Smith, 2-1 at half time.

As we started the second half chance after chance fell to the forwards especially Spink, Evans and Plimley all missing from close range.  It was down to Davies who scored two and another from Spink to complete the victory of 5-2.  Although I am sure Mr Shum will be wearing shin pads after the shot that hit the post from the short corner in the second half!!

Well done fellas, St Anselms at home next week for the 1st and 2nd teams. 2.00 and 3.15 starts.
