BWFC+58'S RETURN WITH A WIN

BWFC+58'S RETURN WITH A WIN

Playing their first game of a reorganised season and despite some extremely changeable weather, BWFC ran out comfortable 4-1 winners against Bedworth at Rushall Olympic’s excellent stadium.

Manager Steve White decided to utilise the whole squad for this game, so everyone had the opportunity to get some competitive game time in their legs. Bedworth applied some decent pressure in the early minutes of the game but good defensive work by Martin and Roger along with the rest of the team prevented any dangerous moments for Les in goal. Birmingham quickly seized the initiative though and harried and pressed the Bedworth midfield and defence forcing them back into their defensive third. Goals from DAVE WHATMORE and ROY WILLIAMS midway through the 1st half saw us take a 2-0 lead into the break despite some quality keeping from the Bedworth goalie.
An early 2nd half goal by CLIVE MACEY was added to by another from DAVE WHATMORE 10 minutes later as effort after effort were fired at the Bedworth goal by Richard Dawson, Roy, Dave and Clive especially but some excellent work by the Bedworth goalkeeper and defenders, aided by a number of off target efforts, saw the score remain at 4-0. As we entered the last 5 minutes Bedworth tried playing longer balls down the channels with positive results for them and Les was forced into some fine saves of his own after long spells of inactivity. Bedworth got themselves a consolation goal from the penalty spot in the dying moments of the match, but the game ended with no further scares for the blues.

Squad: Les Dawson, Martin Barber, Roger Purchase, Pete Giddings, Roy Williams, Mark Evans, John Sparks, Dave Whatmore, Clive Macey, Richard Dawson

FINAL SCORE: BWFC 58+ 4v1 Bedworth 58+
