Wollaton claim narrow victory over visiting Aslockton.
Visiting ACFC looked like maintaining their three month unbeaten record and gaining a surprise victory over league leaders Wollaton Hall when in the first five minutes after kick-off they poured forward and almost overwhelmed Wollaton's keeper, with centre-forward WILSON hitting the post twice and left-winger DEXTER sending in a stinging shot across the goal mouth.
However, rather than folding under the visitors pressure, Wollaton took charge and for the next fifteen minutes showed why they are runaway league leaders with some very skilfull and entertaining play and were rewarded with two goals from HALL and SHELTON.
Despite the disappointment of chances lost Aslockton did not give up and fought back for the rest of the half pushing defenders TONG and BLATHERWICK forward but still the vital goal eluded them.
The home team were a little quieter in the second half and while defending their two goal lead enabled the visitors to play some exciting football of their own, right-winger HARDY and substitute right-back DAWS making hay down the flanks and ACFC Captain BEARDSLEY pushing forward with some fine attacking runs in the centre.
Nevertheless, the home team never missed the opportunity to have a pop at the visitors goal and their defense held and it was only in the final minute that the visitors gained a consolation goal from WILSON who sent the ball into the top corner with a stinging strike.
We were expecting a blizzard of goals from the leagues two top scoring teams but in the event they were fairly evenly matched and goal-keepers MUSSERT and Wollatons BILES making scoring very tough with some great saves between them.
Time was not on the visitors side and Wollaton put another well deserved victory under their belts. The match was played with great spirit shown by all the boys and an atmosphere in keeping with YEL's motto. F.T. Wollaton Hall Green 2 - Aslockton Cranmers FC 1
