Weston St Johns Res 3

Selkirk Utd 2

SAINTS went into this game against Selkirk having not played for five weeks.

Saints started off brightly and were unlucky not to take the lead when Ryan Hodrian saw his shot come back off the crossbar and two minutes later, Joe Whittaker saw his shot hit the post.

The hosts took the lead when Hodrian rounded the goalkeeper and scored from a tight angle. Selkirk got back in the game when a defensive mistake by Neil Hartley gifted the Selkirk striker an easy goal.

Troy Hayes and Dan Hartley, helped by the midfield of Lee Whittaker and Andy Hayes worked hard before Dan Hartley put Saints in front after a fantastic through ball from Andy Hayes.

After the break, Selkirk soon equalised, but Saints created chances for Hartley, Hodrian and Hayes. The winning goal finally came when Andy Young’s free kick was met by skipper Neil Hartley, who thundered home a header to capture three points.

Mike Whittaker man of the match was Troy Hayes.
