Wrington Redhill 2 Sporting Weston 1
What a battle this game was with 2 sides who know each other well going head to head in the league for the first time in a few years. It was the home team who got the first shot on goal when Luke Weeks put Jack Hutchings through on the right but his shot from a tight angle was well saved by Logan Coombs in goal for Sporting. At the other end Wrington Redhill’s keeper Rob Hannah was busy acting as a sweeper sprinting from his area to clear a series of through balls. The home side went 1 up as a shot from the left was half blocked and flew high in the air. As it dropped almost vertically Harrison Campbell (sponsored by Bristol Rewires) sprang high and out jumped Coombs to score with a header from close range. Wrington Redhill’s dependable full back Jensen Backhouse had to leave the field at his point to be replaced by Elliot Edwards and he and left back Tukunda Mutota (AKA Trev’ adscitious and new but essential today) were constantly tested by a lively Sporting front line. 10 minutes after the 1st goal Wrington Redhill went 2 up when Jack Hutchings fed Campbell and his shot from the left was parried by Coombs but fell to Jake Marshman (sponsored by Tintara16 Ltd) to side foot home from close range. Sporting were reeling from 2 quick goals and determined to put things right as a Sanyang through ball was just beyond the reach of Mutota putting the prolific Nathaniel Groom in on goal. Rob Hannah (sponsored by Tim Bush) Wrington Redhill’s goalkeeper flew off his line and tackled Groom as he was deciding which side of the goal to roll the ball into, to save a certain goal
