Spangels 2 AFC Foxco 0

BNESL Division Three

Spangels went some way to making up for their heavy defeat last week, by winning today at home to AFC Foxco.

Whilst they weren't able to repeat the 5-1 friendly victory of only a month ago, Spangels enjoyed slightly more possession and were rewarded with three points.

With commanding displays from many of the players, it was pleasing to see the right attitude from all, compared with last week's debacle.

The scoring was opened in the first half, when a long kick by Spangels 'keeper Seymour found the Foxco defence wanting and Whiteman was able to pounce, lobbing Foxco's custodian from 15 yards.

The second followed soon after, when a Lowe corner followed by a Collis flicked header caused problems in the box, with a hapless Foxco defender prodding the ball into his own net (a-la Pritchard last week!).

Two-nil up at half-time meant it was important to maintain a water-tight back line in the opening moments of the second half. The defence was well protected, with an excellent display from the tough-tackling, no nonsense Tivey. Spangels created other chances with both Collis and Winsborough going close.

There was shock all round at the final whistle, as this group of players have not won a game since 14th March 2004!

Team; Seymour, Lynch, Sayer, Pritchard, Theobald (C), Lowe, Tivey, Winsborough, Hagan (Underdown), Collis, Whiteman (1).
