Neston Beavers 4 Winnington Park Beavers 1

Neston produced probably their best team performance of the season in beating Winnington Park. The Neston side included four players making their full 11 a side debuts for the team, Charlie Palin, Charles McCulloch, Frank Stoddard and Jon Lord and all had excellent games. Neston started the game and were soon on the attack forcing a couple of short corners before Ben Crane got the ball past the visitor’s keeper. Winnington then put the Neston goal under some pressure but Charles McCulloch made some brave saves and kept the ball out. Peter Harrison had a steady game at right back and won some important balls. Overall Neston forced much of the play in the first half and some good passing moves involving Frank Stoddard, Greg Hughes and Sam Dewey created chances for Alex Greenhalf and Scott Barry that could not be turned into goals. Syd Roberts worked well on the right getting in some good crosses. Changes were made at half time with Jon Lord making his debut and making an immediate impact taking the ball past a number of Winnington players. Ben Crane added two more goals, the third coming from a powerful run by Sam Dewey from the right. The defence of Max Dutton, Chris James, James Chester and Charlie Palin kept the Winnington attackers in control. Scott Barry added a fourth before a good short corner move allowed Winnington to get a goal past Alex Davies in goal. The final score of 4-1 reflected an excellent team performance against a useful opposition.
With such a strong team performance the player of the match is shared by all who took part, an excellent game!
