After a disappointing draw away to Lansdown last week, Wotton returned to their winning ways with 3 points against Cardiff Uni 3rds.
Wotton started well, with lots of shots on goal from the attackers, however these were all saved by the Cardiff keeper. Eventually, Wotton’s efforts were rewarded, scoring a short corner with a straight hit into the bottom corner from James Bull. Wotton continued to control the game, scoring another goal before half time; after good build up play through the midfield (Sam Willcox, Ben Butter, Chris Price, Hayden Brewer, Callum Niddrie, James Luton), a one-two around the keeper resulted in Harry Willcox converting into an open goal to make it 2-0.

Following a formation change in the second half, Cardiff started getting some opportunities for the first time in the game, however the defensive line (Charlie Thomas, James Bull, John Shovelton, Jonny Glover, Kieran Latimer, Steven Midex, Andy Stockley) made sure nothing was converted. Recognising that the new formation wasn’t working, Wotton returned to the original and started to dominate the play again. Wotton’s last goal was taken very similarly to the second as passing through the lines broke open the opposition defence for another Harry Willcox goal.

Overall, a very good performance as Wotton keep their unbeaten record, with only 1 goal conceded so far.
