Combined Counties Premier Division North

 

This was a terrific match, played in difficult windy conditions.

​

VW felt they deserved a share of the spoils, but were left to rue three good first half chances, that Turnell Sinclair, Harry Brooks and Leo Pedro all could have done a little better, in addition to a strong penalty appeal that was turned down for a blatant push on Joe McBride.

​

Fielding 4 Under 18 players, three of those in the back four, VW can be proud of their defensive performance against a powerful SP side.

Indeed, in the first half, the opposition barely had a shot on goal, and as stated above, had we taken our chances, and capitalised on numerous set pieces, it could have been a different outcome.

​

In the second half, with the elements in their favour, SP piled on the pressure, but VW remained resolute, with Matt rarely troubled in goal.

It took a wonder strike by their Captain on 75 minutes to break the deadlock, finding the bottom corner from 20 yards.

VW were deflated, and the visitors scored a decisive goal from close range in the final 10 minutes, which gave the game a flattering score line.

​

Delighted with the performance of VW, in particular the younger lads for acquitting themselves so well.

We wish St Pantelimon the best of luck for the remainder of the season.
