Wendover 4 Marlow 4

How many times are we going to have huge scoring games!!! This was a great game and Wendover yet again found themselves 0-1 down very early on. It seemed as though a our players were on holiday for the first 10 minutes in fact they may as well have stayed in the dressing room as we went down 0-3 very quickly. If it wasnt again for some great work by Jack we could have been 5 or 6 down. At 0-3 you still could not write off Wendover and being realistic they did not deserve to be in this position but we all now know never to write them off because it soon changed. The first goal for Wendover came from a complete scramble in the box with almost everyone, with the exception of the parents and the ref, in the Marlow box with eventually Max getting to the ball and getting it over the line. The second was the start of some serious controversy, Andrew Howarth was the ref and I must say no-one could ever believe he was 14 years old. He made such a strong and correct decision that could have really changed Wendovers fortunes. The parent who was linesman for Marlow decided to flag anything that moved and Ben S was 5 yards offside but as Ben W played the ball through the centre to Josh he was onside and as you expect from him he buried it, no keeper could have stopped that. Andrew then overruled the linesmans decision and gave the goal. 2-3. The game was soon level with a great assist from Ben W and an equally great finish by Ben S. 3-3. Marlow started coming back at us and very close to the end of the game and took advantage of a slip by Jack and made it 3-4. BUT never count Wendover out - Ben S (MAN OF THE MATCH) was outstanding. He ran from the half way line towards the goal dodging past many a player and finally putting in a shot which was saved but bounced out towards the touchline. Ben S never gives up and won the ball back and with a tricky flick of the feet beat the keeper and sent the ball into the net to make it a very well deserved 4-4!!! WELL DONE BOYS
