First
Half - Northwest Fire played their first full match against Westlands
from the East Cheshire Sunday League.The first half was an even contest
and the Fire took the lead when Walsh's long range shot found its way
into the net with the keeper at fault. The Fire got their passing game
going and were more than a match for their opponents and soon found
themselves 2-0 up when a Lukoschek long ball found Bramley out wide.
Bramley took control of the ball and moved in to score with a well taken
goal. Westlands came roaring back and reduced the deficit with a header
from a corner. A goal line clearance from Green preserved the lead and
the Fire went in 2-1 up at the break. |

Second
Half - Westlands bossed the game in the second half as a combination
of know how and fitness proved too much for an inexperienced Fire side.
The Fire rarely strung passes together as they looked a totally disjointed
team in the second half and Westlands took advantage to plunder goals
to give them a somewhat flattering 9-2 win. The match, although ending
in an embarassing result, was a great work out and should prove invaluable
as the Fire step up their preperations and training. Bramley was unlucky
in the second half to see a spectacular goal ruled out for a minor infringement
although full marks should go to the referee who had a splendid match. |
