23rd April 2006 - Division 2 - Harmanswater Road, Bracknell

Wanderers were once again missing several players, as they faced league winners Green Man.

 

With Mark Timms, Phil Soane, Tom Soane, Anthony Prior and Andy Corless all absent, Adam Clark, Paul Martin and Scott Ford were drafted in.

 

The Blues immediately faced a series of swift attacks from Green Man.  Wanderers' central defensive partnership of Clint Falcus and Chris Hillsdon continued their recent good form, and won tackles and headers to help protect goalkeeper Clark.

 

Ten minutes in, and the home side opened the scoring.  Edward Townsend was turned, and the Green Man forward's shot was diverted beyond Clark by Falcus' attempted block.

 

Green Man then struck a second goal, before Wanderers came close to scoring.  A Jamie Ryall free-kick into the box, found Paul Martin, who shot narrowly wide.

 

Wokingham went on to concede two further goals before the interval.  At the other end, only a highly dubious offside call prevented the opportunity to pull a goal back, after a foul on Martin looked to have resulted in a penalty.

 

The second half saw Green Man dominate completely.  Adam Clark produced a string of fine stops, which even drew praise from the home support, but couldn't prevent the Bracknell side adding to their tally, and three goals were put past him.

 

After both Darren Wakley and Richard Scott had had shots saved, Paul Martin broke clear to fire home a consolation goal for Wanderers.

 

Wanderers will be keen to finish the season with a positive performance against 3M on Tuesday night, and then focus on the next campaign.

 

TEAM: Adam Clark, Edward Townsend, Clint Falcus, Chris Hillsdon, Jamie Ryall, Ian Griffiths, Dave Griffiths, Darren Wakley, Paul Martin, Richard Scott, Scott Ford.
