Today was a game of two halves - or even four quarters and in truth a victory of 16-1 does not reflect the real story which was about a rampant Waverton team going away to Upton and playing on a pitch the size of a postage stamp which was more suitable to 4-a-side not 7-a-side but in the end succumbing to the realisation that when we play as a team and pass the ball we destroy the opposition.
For the first two quarters we laboured on the small bumpy
pitch and after eventually taking the lead, couldn't believe it when Upton
equalised! However a lovely move direct from the kickoff (one of our best goals
of the season) saw George sweep the ball in and from that point Waverton
stepped things up taking a 4-1 lead at the half way point.
From then on class, power, ability and sheer willpower
took over as the boys did their job and overwhelmed the opposition.
In fairness to Upton they have improved greatly since our
last meeting but even with several boys missing the last 25 minutes showed why
Waverton have that 100% record in the Shield and that was against a goalkeeper who
at times performed miracles.
The 16 goals came from Rory (4), George (4), Zac (3),
Alex (2), Harry (2) and Wills (1).
Man of the Match was George who as well as 4 well taken
goals always looked for the pass which invariably caused trouble to the
opposition.
