Westerfield 0 - 3 Achilles 1/2/20

Joseph had the first chance but screwed his shot wide. A shot from Hanley whistled past the post and then Joseph’s attempted chip was gathered by Barkes. Gillies pass was just too long for Potter and at the other end Barkes fisted a shot from Ryland behind for a corner. G.Van Oene just failed to get on the end of a low cross from Askew and then Barkes saved from D.Van Oene. Welton raced off his line to deny Tierney after he had broken through the Achilles rearguard before Steele somehow cleared Wragg’s off the line. G.Van Oene, looking well offside raced through but put his shot wide of the upright and Barkes then had to tip another chip from Joseph over the bar. Gillies shot wide as the half ended goalless. Two minutes into the second half JOSEPH scored from the edge with a shot into the top corner. Wragg volleyed wide and then Barkes saved from Joseph. Keinzley couldn’t connect properly with a low Gillies cross when a goal looked on the cards and then Gibson cleared off the line.STEEL doubled the visitors’ lead with a low shot into the corner and after Barkes had made a great save from COOTE, the same player scored a third in the closing minutes.
