What a game, & what a result Saturday's fixture against Yatton Athletic served up - whatsapp & social media went wild come the end of the game!
Sporting Weston F.C. started slowly & conceeded within the first minute. However, despite entering the second half 0-2 down the team created a number of decent opportunities and should have been level if not ahead in the match. Sam Cooper also pulled off a wonder save from a header at point blank range.
The scond half started in similar fashion with the Sporting Weston players gifting Yatton Athletic an opportunity to go 0-3 ahead. However, on this occasion Sporting Weston F.C. did take their opportunities and scored some excellent goals through Luke Kershaw (x 2) and Sam Nicholas to inflict a first defeat of the season for Yatton Athletic & to keep the dream of league winners firmly alive.
Every player performed well, but Joe Christie, Samm Nicholas and Sam Cooper earned special praise. Luke Kershaw won the MotM award, and to quote the new manager Neil Sharpe; "Goals win games and with 2 goals and 1 assist this week MoM goes to Mr Kershaw".
