In an impressive showing at the Wedgwood Sports and Social Club, Wedgwood FC delivered a commanding performance in a friendly match against test, emerging victorious with a resounding 4-1 win. The home side showcased their attacking prowess, displaying a well-coordinated 4-1-3-2 formation that allowed them to control the tempo and rhythm of the game.
The opening exchanges saw both teams settle into the contest, but it wasn’t long before Wedgwood found their rhythm. Jack Hurd, who was heavily involved throughout the match, made a significant contribution with his creativity and relentless energy. He was pivotal in orchestrating attacks, including a crucial flick assist that set up Henri Royals for the game's first goal. Scoring from a distance of 7-18 yards with his right foot, Royals' strike was well-placed and indicative of Wedgwood's attacking threat.
Despite a brief resurgence from their opponents, which culminated in a scrappy goal from close range, Wedgwood did not waver. The visitors briefly threatened to complicate matters, but the home side quickly regained control. Shane Reaney extended the lead with a stunning right-footed strike from 18-25 yards, showcasing his technical ability and precision in front of goal.
With momentum firmly in their favour, Wedgwood continued to press, with Oliver Heath scoring another superb goal shortly after, aided by a situation that appeared to be slightly fortuitous. The ball found its way to him, and he made no mistake, firing from distance and putting the match well out of reach for test.
The final act of the match saw Simon Blanchard add the icing on the cake with a spectacular left-footed shot from beyond the 25-yard mark, finished with flair courtesy of a back-heeled assist from Hurd. The goal not only illustrated the confidence radiating through the Wedgwood squad but also clinched a definitive victory that will boost their morale as they prepare for the competitive fixtures ahead.
Throughout the match, the referee maintained a presence but failed to stand out, as Wedgwood's attacking play dominated the narrative. Furthermore, Jack Hurd's contributions did not go unnoticed, as he was involved in multiple key passes, ensuring his teammates were consistently set up for potential strikes on goal.
The comfortable victory will serve as a strong foundation for Wedgwood FC as they continue their preparations, providing the players with a much-needed boost of confidence ahead of their next challenges. Their performance reflects the hard work put in during training and a promising sign of what’s to come in the season ahead.
