At a rain soaked Worthing FC our Over 50s White team entertained our Red team in the SCFL Walking League. With bragging rights to play for, it was the Reds who went on the attack and within 4 minutes earnt a Penalty when a White player entered the Penalty area. PENALTY!
Lee Smart took it in place of the absent Pete Stone and thundered the ball in, hitting the post and, grabbing the rebound, he slotted home. Sadly as the ball had not touched anyone else the ref duly gave a free kick to Whites.
Both Teams traded procession but it was Neil Flockton in The Whites goal who pulled off several quality saves before Carl Etherington smashed home from out on the right.
1-0
Both Teams continued to trade procession and the Reds scored again with a Lee Smart Thunderbolt from the left.
2-0 For the rest of the halh the Reds and Whites weren't giving each other any time to string any sort of play together however, just before half time, Ricky Dumbrell had a great chance to reduce the deficit but his strike struck the Angle.
2-0 half time.
Both Managers made changes at half time but both teams cancelled each other out in the second half. Guy Whitehead pulling all the strings for Whites but to no avail.
2-0 Final score great effort by all involved showing the quality that our Club has.
