CASTLETHORPE v. WESTON UNDERWOOD
Castlethorpe entertained Weston Underwood on Saturday last, and a good game resulted in a win for the homesters. From the start the homesters pressed, and after five minutes play, Watts scored with a fine cross shot. Play now became very fast, each goal being visited with lightening rapidity. Lowe tried a shot, but had the misfortune to hit the post with the goal-keeper well beaten. At the other end Harding failed to clear a shot at the first attempt , and had to lay on the ball until the whistle sounded for dangerous play. From the free kick the homesters forced a corner, but the ball was put behind. Half-time soon arrived with the homesters leading. Castlethorpe 1, Weston Underwood 0 Midfield play occupied most of the second half, the defence of both sides being suppior in the attack. The visitor’s right wing at last got away and forced a corner. The flag kick was splendidly placed in the goal mouth, and one of the homesters handled. From the penalty kick, however, Harding saved at the expense of another corner. The visitors still pressed, and with the home custodian out of the goal should have scored, but Martyr, rushing across, saved from under the bar. Then the homesters continued to press until the whistle brought an interesting game to a close. Castlethorpe 2, Weston Underwood 0. Castlethorpe: C. Harding, J. Martyr, J. Taylor, J. Panter, A. Bavington, H. Dolling, C. Watts, W. Markham, H. Burbidge, A. Lowe, and W. Manning. On Saturday the winners journey to Stantonbury to play Unity where a good game is expected. |
