Woodley Town Kestrels  1 – 1  Purley Jubilee

We were a bit down hearted after the defeat against our Purley rivals last week & our heads really weren’t in the game during the 1st half. Luke Wiseman & Charlie Peppett were replaced by Daniel Strudley & Shaun Barnes to try & wake things up but we couldn’t keep the Kestrels back & they eventually got the ball in the net & finished the 1st half ahead.

After a team talk at half time, Purley started the 2nd half determined to pull the game back. Luke Wiseman & Charlie Peppett started the half in place of Luke Thompson (injury) & Luke Fifield. Both teams had some good shots at goal but some equally good saves from the goalkeepers kept the ball out of the nets. Luke Fifield came on to replace Joe Wakefield but, no matter how hard we battled, we just couldn’t get the ball in the net. Then, with only a couple of minutes of the game left, Luke Fifield finally hit the target after a superb pass from Harry Young. Luke’s goal celebration was as equally entertaining!

The Fair Play Award went to our goalkeeper Connor Taylor for some excellent saves that even received praise from the Kestrels supporters.
