Witton Rating ****
Match Rating ****
It was a tale of 2 halves for Witton, as a workman-like first-half performance was blown away in the second half (along with the opposition…) as Witton ran riot.
In fairness to Young Guns, they possibly started the brightest of the 2 sides, and would have took an early lead if it wasn’t for the reflexes of Crouch in the Witton goal. Their promise of 24 hours earlier, to ‘run rings’ around Witton, was not to be in evidence though… It was Witton who drew first blood - and who else but Tom Green, who has now notched 33 goals in his 47 appearances for the team (not bad for a lazy, overweight, mouthy git…)
However Young Guns hit back almost immediately, as a shot from distance was deflected by the gravitational pull of Clarkie’s backside, and flew into Crouchy’s goal. Witton were not to be denied though, and Tom Green soon made it 2 - 1, before making it 3 - 1 just moments later after WittonRobbo in the Young Guns net rolled it straight to him (if he was in the Fantasy 6s league he’d have got an assist…!!).
So at half time Witton were looking comfortable. However, this did not stop a member of the Young Guns team declaring ‘how are we losing this, they aren’t better than us’…
The second half saw Adam Clarke make the points safe, before Shaun Carter put a nice sheen on things with the 5th.
Other bright spots were Mike Blundell’s first appearance back after injury (and marriage, and honey-moon…it was the first chance he’d had to remove the ball and chain…). To be honest, Witton could easily have scored another 3 or 4 in the second half if they had been more clinical infront of goal. There was almost a contender for Goal Of The Season though, as Robinson arrowed a shot towards the top corner of the net, only for WittonRobbo to tip it over the bar for a corner. Git.
Anyway, for WittonRobbo and Webby etc;
‘Easy easy easy easy!!!’
