⚽FA Vase Fourth Round⚽
AFC Wulfrunians 1 Anstey Nomads 0
Wulfrunians were expecting their toughest test so far in this competition against todays' visitors https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/non-league/2023/01/13/afc-wulfrunians-up-for-the-challenge-of-making-history/.
Both sides started well with the hosts having an early edge and their ' in-your-face ' tactics paid dividends on 16 minutes when Meggoe was tripped in the area and dispatched the resultant spot-kick ⚽. The visitors 'easy on the eye' passing game was in sharp contrast to Wulfrunians no nonsense play ; their problem was not much end product to match their build up play. Just before the break the hosts were down to ten men, their player receiving a second yellow card.
The second half saw Nomads in the ascendancy making their advantage tell in bucketloads but with the same problem as the first half, not enough end product. Admittedly they were not helped by a determined Wulfs defence who were prepared to kick it anywhere.
Parity was reached late in the game when Nomads also had a man sent off for two yellows, resulting in a much more even game.
Wulfrunians achieved club history by reaching the last 16 for the first time.
This really was a cracking cup-tie between two good teams with just enough needle to make it a must-watch.
