After a few shocking performances of late the Fire restored some pride with a determined performance against Westlands.

Recent injuries and other abasences meant that The Fire were forced to play the whole match with just 10 players. If that wasn't going to make it hard enough they had no recognised keeper and it was Rob Clowes who became the 4th Northwest Fire player this season to go in goal.

From the start it was always going to be a backs to the wall type performance and some good defending saw Westlands only able to create 1 really clear cut opportunity althought they peppered a few shots from distance wide.

At the other end Lee Knott had the thankless task of playing up front on his own and without any recognised central midfielders playing behind him he only had scraps to feed on and he was unable to trouble the Westlands defence.
