JOIN OUR PRESIDENTS WASP CLUB!

 A week is a long time in football, even at our level, and after a very tough start of losing four on the bounce we have now won the last 2, both games being at home and look forward to a third at home on Tuesday evening at Moor Lane to Welton Rovers.

I have stated repeatedly to the players that this season in order to succeed it will take a squad effort and is not about the starting 11 and that has proved to be the case already this term using 21 players already and still with having Danny Golden and Brett Cotterill who are yet to kick a ball yet this season to come back in the very near future also.

Tuesday night we beat Bishops Lydeard at home 4-0, a goal from Louis Irwin early on set us up for a good start with Mike Taylor adding a second, attacking a deep Dan Wise free kick very well to head home. Second half two goals from goal scorer Toby Cole sealed the victory and in truth it could and probably should have been more but 4-0 was a good victory and nice to get our first three points of the season under our belt. 

Saturday we faced Lebeq Utd who had lost just once so far to top of the table Ashton & Backwell, beating Bristol Telephones, Longwell Green and a 5-1 away opening day thumping of Cheddar meaning they started the day in 2nd place. We played well in this game, dictated the tempo and restricted them to no shots at our goal until the 85th minute when they scored what was looking likely to be a late consolation goal before adding a 2nd a few minutes after, deep into injury time to make for a nervy last few seconds of the game.

Before this we had taken a 3-0 lead, a hat trick of penalties from the ever reliable captain Dan Wise. To score three penalties in one game is some feat, not one I have encountered before and Dans record from the penalty spot is first class and you back him to score every time he steps up and know he will keep his cool in pressured situations time and time again, touch wood! 

The other thing I would just like to touch on is our home and away support has increased so far this season, for whatever the reasons I just wanted to thank those that have come to show their support on behalf of myself and the players, it really does make a huge difference to us to and is appreciated massively, our next game is Tuesday 29th September at home to Welton Rovers, we would love to see you there

 

Amazing news to come out of yesterday’s heartbreak. Local company Harmony Fire

have approached us and said they want to donate a CCTV system in order to be able to eradicate anything like this in the future. Thank you so much for this generosity it is so unexpected and a fantastic thing to do.

Also thank you to every single person who has shown support and thoughts towards our little club over the last 24 hours . The support has been amazing. We’ll post more when more details become clear
