Witton Rating ***
Match Rating ***
A depleted Witton side ran out 3 - 1 winners in a game that had ‘end of season run out’ written all over it.
A very sluggish opening 13 minutes saw Witton fail to get out of 1st gear. Big Stu managed to knock a few Northwich players to the floor, and even took one comical stumble himself, but Witton could not break the deadlock.
A frustrating 0 - 0 at half time.
The second half finally brought goals, along with the introduction of debutant Adam Clarke. However, it was the much-maligned Scott Carter who finished the season in the kind of form he had displayed in the previous campaign, as he opened the scoring with a well-placed finish to make it 1 - 0.
This should of been chance for Witton to open the floodgates, however disaster soon struck. With the ball taking an awful bounce over the head of Robinson, a Northwich attacker had a free shot on Stu Jones’ goal. However, Robinson managed to recover in time to get a block in on the shot, but the rebound fell to the same Northwich player who made no mistake 2nd time around to make it 1 - 1.
This looked as though it would be the final score, until Graham Prew stepped up to curl one in off the outside of his right boot. Minutes later and Scott Carter scored his second to wrap up the points for Witton.
