2nd Team Vs Aldridge & Walsall 2

Another very difficult and wet afternoon for OW2 against another team in our division with a perfect record of 4 wins out of 4.

OW2 were guilty of individual errors which led directly to goals in the first half, however showed a good fighting spirit with goals of  our own through Mellis and McNay to keep the game close at 4 -2 at half time. When we were able to get our passing going, it was some of the best we have played all season however on occasion the ball was given away far too easily.

The second half was a very one-sided affair. AW2 turned screw after screw and OW2 were subjected to attack after attack, which led to a further 6 goals. As the goals kept going in, heads continued to drop, which didn't make the situation any easier for our young team, however a very late consolation was bobbled in by Dunn.

NW1 is a split league, with the top 5 teams already well clear (by 6pts) of the remainder, including us, who are all split by just 3 points. It won't be the games of the last 3 weeks, against the best in the league, which decide how we do this season, rather how we respond against Buxton (level on points with OW2) and the other teams around us.
