22/2/09 Wasps 2 - Fairford Youth 1

An exciting, open match saw Wanborough ultimately triumph over current top-of-the-table Fairford Youth.  Wanborough went one-nil down in the first-half.  However, excellent passing play from the entire team, grit, determination and most importantly two goals from Taylor in the second meant that the Wasps ended the game with a great win.


Comment from Andy:

"Without doubt the boys turned in their very best performance of the season to register a much-deserved victory against top of the table Fairford. Fast flowing football again proved the way to succeed with attack after attack coming from both flanks. Our five-man midfield dominated the game from first to last whistle and with a little better luck could have scored more than the two goals from Taylor.


Excellent shape from the back four and another composed display from Connor meant most attacks from Fairford were snuffled out before quality distribution resulted in another raid from Luke M and Taylor. Well done to Jacob for his unselfish running up front and also to Jason who swapped to right back and proved excellent attacking support with his trademark overlaps.


Great performance from everybody. I hope you all enjoyed it."

15 Feb 2009 Highworth J 2 - Wasps 3

A 10-strong Highworth J team put up a strong, spirited performance against Wanborough this week in an exciting end-to-end match.  Despite some impressive individual skill from Wanborough and having a full squad against Highworth's 10 men, it was Highworth's team-work and passing game that helped them to open the scoring 7 minutes into the match.  Wanborough failed to take advantage of their extra outfield player and it was Highworth that looked like they were the more likely to score throughout the first-half.

Goals from Luke G. and Max in the second-half put Wanborough ahead. It was Highworth though that played as though they had an extra man on the field, thwarting Wanborough's attacks and often seeming to find space for their own. Luke's second goal sealed the match in Wanborough's favour. However Highworth kept fighting all the way to the end; putting away a consolation goal just before the final whistle.

1/2/09 Greenmeadow 2 V Wanborough 1

Today's match saw Wanborough outplayed and outgunned by a disciplined Greenmeadow side.  Greenmeadow had several good chances in the first half, converting only one of them into an goal early into the game.
Wanborough managed to get into the match for a time in the second-half where a goal from Jacob brough the scores level.  There were some great passing moves from the team, however the truce was short-lived.  Another goal 7 minutes from the end sealed the match for Greenmeadow; as deserved win.
Final score Greenmeadow 2, Wanborough 1.
