Westbury Rovers FC 3 Semington FC 2
IVY WIN TO SET UP TITLE 6-POINTER
Having battled out a 1-1 draw at the beginning of the season the reverse fixture between Westbury Rovers and Semington FC was always going to be a close game and so it was too be as Westbury edged a thrilling game 3-2.
Due to their own pitch being out of action, the game had been moved to Notton House School. Both sides struggled initially on a pitch that was smaller than they were used to.
Westbury began to dominate and after 14 minutes took the lead when James Reeves scored after Semington failed to clear a corner.
Semington came back into the game but could not find a way through the solid defence. Westbury added a second when Daniel Tugwell’s scored to give them a 2-0 lead at half time.
Semington’s half time talk was paying dividends as they began to dominate the second period and reduced the gap on 60 minutes when Dave Clarke pounced after a goalmouth scramble to halve the deficit.
Ten minutes later they equalised when James Cox’s low shot from the edge of the area hit the back of the net.
Both teams pressed hard for a goal as play went from end to end. After 84 minutes Westbury broke the deadlock when Carl Ledbury scored to give them a narrow 3-2 victory.
