Wasps 6 - 4 Calne

We had a great result today against previously undefeated Calne.

After letting in an early goal, we played some fantastic football in the first half. Strong defending and some lovely passing in midfield and between attackers created lots of chances. Well done to Johan for getting a hat-trick and Arthur for netting two. 5-1 at half time.

The second half required a different type of football. We defended and absorbed the pressure for 15 minutes before finally Calne scored a couple of goals. A nervous final 5 minutes saw Calne get within one goal of levelling the match. But we caught Calne on the break a couple of times eventually winning a free-kick which resulted in Tom scoring a lovely goal from distance to secure the win.

Well done to everyone today. Everyone gave 100% effort for the whole match.
Captain's MoM (chosen by Will A): Johan for the hat-trick and then defending in second half
Coaches' MoM: Tom Head for some lovely weighted passes to set up the goals, and his final goal.

The main learning point is to make sure we close down and not allow shots from around the edge of the 18-yard box as increasingly this is where goals are coming from.

Training as normal Monday (from 7.15pm)
Next week - local derby! Away at Chiseldon (2pm AFTERNOON kick off)
