CASTLEFORD TOWN

WAKEFIELD UNITED

SUNDAY 2ND MARCH – AWAY

 In blustery, chilly weather conditions Wakefield United played away to hosts Castleford Town this weekend.  Off to a steady start Wakefield battled hard with the wind against them and time soon told as the wind was well and truly blown out of their sails.  Castleford sent an array of shots that were on target and with some scrappy play capitalized on every chance.  Wakefield United on the other hand only managed a couple of shots from Daniel Clarke, Connor Playford and Joe Newman that were unfortunately wide of the mark.  Good play came from Robert Bottomley, keeper Cameron Dye and Joe Newman but the GBM construction player of the match was awarded to Lewys Irvine for a determined performance throughout.  When the final whistle blew the score finished in a 12-0 defeat for Wakefield United.  Better luck next time boys.

SUNDAY 9TH MARCH 2008 - HOME

 Wakefield played hosts this weekend to visitors Upton United and gave a performance worthy of a Barnsley v Chelsea encounter.  What a difference a week makes as Wakefield were a different side with plenty of tackling skills and sheer determination.  The first half saw Upton manage 2 goals but Wakefield were well and truly holding their own with superb performances from defenders Bhavin Patel, Josh Couser and Robert Bottomley.  The second half saw Wakefield lull just a little but then their spirits lifted once again with keeper Matthew Peel making some great saves and Jake Tolson and Lewys Irvine making some spectacular clearances from off the line.  Unfortunately Wakefield didn't manage to score but their efforts non the less were super.  Great efforts boys this week after all Upton are top of the league.  The final score was a 5-0 win to Upton and the GBM Player of the Match award went jointly to James Murphy and Lewys Irvine.  Superb team effort keep up the good work.

WAKEFIELD JETS

SUNDAY 30TH MARCH 2008 - HOME

 Wakefield United played hosts to Wakefield Jets in blustery conditions which made it difficult for either side to grab a firm hold of the game.  Jets were first to open the scoring but United came right back with a super strike from James Murphy.  Again end to end action resulted in Jets putting another goal away but Joe Newman replied in fine style.  Both sides traded goal scoring opportunites although United had more so with near misses from Jake Tolson and Matthew Peel. United then gave Wakefield Jets a couple of scrappy chances which they capitalized on fully before Connor Playford scored a magnificent third for United.  Wakefield Jets certainly had to work for their victory and it was unfortunate that the scoreline reflected poorly for United as they gave a fantastic performance.  Still a newly formulated team having only played a handful of matches as a full squad United are most definitely on the up for next season - watch this space.  Excellent efforts from all the team.  The GBM Construction Player of the Match was awarded to Daniel Clarke for an unstoppable performance.
