4 wins out of 5 for the Internet ‘Orns

AFTER a 4 week hiatus, WIFC continue their good start to the IFA season by recording a 4th win in 5 games on Saturday at Woodside against AFC Wimbledon. In what was a scrappy affair throughout, early chances were at a premium and it took around 30 minutes for the deadlock to be broken when Mark O’Connor scored following some penalty box pinball and a blocked Stuart Oldham shot. O’Connor soon made it 2 and 4 for the season when his powerful shot took a slight deflection past the visiting keeper.

Playing with the slope in the second period, WIFC started to control the game better and a 3rd goal was the least they deserved, Charlie Wood finishing after good work from Ben Pegram. The Internet ‘Orns saved the best for last when Richard Murphy celebrated the recent arrival of daughter Lila with his 3rd of the season after some intricate passing from Wood and the returning Joel Moody. There was still time for Kristian Melson to make two excellent late saves to earn his first clean sheet for the club and complete a comfortable home win.

Team. 4-4-2, R to L. Kristian Melson; Ed Sterry, Dan Butterick, Ben Bateman, Ben Pegram; Richard Murphy, Adam Gallichan, Stuart Holdham, Joel Moody; Charlie Wood, Mark O’Connor. Subs James Jenkins & Max Walters.
