Wulfrunians take the points in an enthralling encounter

                       ⚽   Midland Football League  Premier Div  ⚽

Played at The CKW Stadium


AFC Wulfrunians 2  Highgate Utd 0


First things 1st. Welcome back my mate Pete to Proper Football. Pete has been out of action lately so it's great to have him back.




The visitors were on it straight away and were looking ominous for the first 10 - 15 minutes but Wulfs gradually got there act together and in the 17th minute went ahead courtesy of Hill, direct from a corner. With their midfield snapping at the heels of the visitors Wulfs were enjoying plenty of possession which is not to say the visitors weren't in it ; they were, but on numerous occasions good approach work was let down by poor decisions-making meaning the home keeper was not unduly stretched. Just before the break the hosts increased their lead  with a well-constructed move. Livewire Poole was too quick for the keeper and put the ball through to Knight who only had to tap in.

Highgate made some changes at the break and were a better team for it. They were matching Wulfs in midfield and seeing much more of the ball but apart from a couple of near things were unable to breech a resolute home defence.

    This  was a highly entertaining match with full commitment from both sides.
