Deeside Mens 7s 0 Whitchurch Mens 1s 12

Whitchurch Mens 1s travelled away to play Deeside 7s in their second game of the season. Whitchurch looked strong throughout the game and pressured Deeside from start to end.

From the start of the game Whitchurch worked through the Deeside defense with pace and skill and within minutes Ryan Dulson scored the opener and later went on to score two more and complete his hattrick. Deeside had moments of passing and good play through sections of the game but rarely got chances at the Whitchurch goal due to the work of the defense and midfield.

Joe Nicholson and Ben Lea both claimed themselves hattricks with a combination of goals. Joel Leese, Ben Kimberley and Steve Lloyd also scored one goal each as they pressed heavily in the second half and saw the game out as another double figure win.

Whitchurch 1s play Llandudno 2s and Wrexham 3s at home next Saturday and Sunday.

Whitchurch ladies 2s 0 Macclesfield ladies 4ths 0

Whitchurch started stronger of the two sides. Whitchurch took the game to Macclesfield straight from the start applying pressure to their defense. Despite good chances on goal from Emily Vernon, Jess Kimberley and Hayleigh Busby Whitchurch failed to convert chances into goals.

Macclesfield also created Shola Bailey was forced into action saving a penalty corner strike.

The half time talk focused on the pluses of the first half and with the which confidence boosted they pressured from the start. Good runs from Helen Hocknell and Emily Vernon on the left as and Masie Owen linking Tracy Tolhurst in the centre but they couldn’t get the final touch in front of goal.

Despite Macclesfield breaking through the Whitchurch midfield Wendy Cooper, Emma Clark and Becky Brookfield were able to keep it Macclesfield attacks to a minimum. Towards the end of the game fitness started to take its toll on the Whitchurch side but Whitchurch players never let their head drop and continued to give everything until the end and can take heart from a good performance from the defense of Emma Clarke and Wendy Cooper.

Jess Kimberley was awarded player of the match. Whitchurch will be traveling to Bowden next week.
