WAKEFIELD UNITED

CROFTON

SUNDAY 17TH FEBRUARY – HOME

 Wakefield United excelled in this friendly match against Crofton (B) and really took control of the match from the start.  Quick off the mark in the first few opening minutes and Joe Howard scored the first for United with a wonderful pass through from Joe Newman.  Keeping up the pace and Joe Howard took another chance making the tally 2-0 with only 10 minutes of the first half gone.  Crofton however then started to fight back after their slow start and Wakefield had to defend with some excellent tackles from Josh Couser, Jake Tolson, Bhavin Patel and Robert Bottomley.  Wakefield upped the tempo once again with a torrent of goals coming from Daniel Clarke, Connor Playford, Lewys Irvine and another from Joe Howard to make his hat trick.  Crofton replied with two consolation goals but the match belonged to Wakefield with some excellent performances also from James Murphy, Jamie Clarke, Joe Newman and keeper Camerone Dye.  The GBM Construction Player of the Match was awarded to Connor Playford for some great balls through and superb pace that money just can't buy.  The final score was a 6-2 win to Wakefield.  A worthy performance from all the team and hopefully a run of success to continue - well done to each and every player.

ST JOSEPHS

WAKEFIELD UNITED

SUNDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2008 - AWAY

 Wakefield United U11s played away to St. Josephs this week in a David and Goliath battle with St. Josephs being the league leaders and United trailing at the bottom of the league.  During the first half United more than held St. Josephs and it was only nearing the end of the first half that the home team managed to score three against United.  The second half however was a different matter and United seemed to lose heart as St. Josephs continued with a barrage of goals.  Disappointingly this didn't reflect the hard work that United were putting in with super performances defensively from Joe Newman, Jake Tolson, Matthew Peel, Josh Couser and Robert Bottomley.  Great efforts also came from Lewys Irvine, Daniel Clarke, Joe Howard, Connor Playford and keeper Cameron Dye but unfortunately it wasn't enough with the final score being an 11-0 victory to St. Josephs.  The GBM Construction Player of the Match was awarded to Jamie Clarke for a strong performance throughout.

 FINAL SCORE - ST JOSEPHS  11 - 0  WAKEFIELD UNITED
