VELOCITY WESSEX LEAGUE DIVISION ONE
SATURDAY 31ST AUGUST 2024
WHITCHURCH UNITED 1 VERWOOD TOWN 1

A first half of applied pressure failed to yield a Verwood goal. Conversely 29 minutes gone and a cock up in our defence allowed Whitchurch to steer the ball past Mitchell. 0-1.

The game until then had been contained in Whitchurch half but despite the greater possession we couldn’t finish.

Buggey hit the post and Hockey drove a volley high over the bar with only 15 minutes after the whistle. A couple of minutes later and a delightful Pope through ball was put wide by Grzybowski.

Mitchell didn’t have too much to worry about except for the blip on 29 minutes.

Danvers and Kerr caught the eye with good defending coupled to overlapping runs causing concern in the Whitchurch ranks.

Half Time 0-1

Whitchurch had shots of adrenalin at half time and for the first 15 minutes of the second half enjoyed a good spell of attacking football.

Bignell and Ferguson absorbed central attacks while Danvers and Kerr kept a tight reign on the flanks.

33 minutes gone and we drew level with a great effort from Grzybowski hammering the ball past the keeper. 1-1

Pope went close with a couple of minutes left but couldn’t change the score line..

Result 1-1
