Westella & Willerby AFC

Westella & Willerby AFC made the long journey to Bradford taking on NCEL new boys Campion FC and returned home with a much needed point in a 1-1 draw. Westella started the brightest of the two sides on a very heavy pitch in windy conditions. Danny Walker, Alex Wood and Mike Pecora causing the home defence problems from the off showed the intent that Westella weren’t going to let the home side have an easy afternoon. Harry Earl and Chris Short returned to the side and both caused problems playing some neat through balls for Walker and Wood to register early chances on goal. Campion grew in to the first half with some neat play that saw some resolute defending from the Westella back four, the hosts only real danger was long distance efforts that flew high and wide of the Westella goal. As the wind picked up and the…

Westella & Willerby made the short trip over to Brigg Town on Saturday for the local derby fixture and came away not only feeling sorry for themselves but also on the back of a 2-0 defeat. A bright opening period for Westella saw them crest some early opportunities, most notable coming from Chris Short down the right hand side driving inwards putting Alex Wood through on goal drawing a comfortable save from Dan Waring in the Brigg goal. Both sides at times where wide open and it soon became a game of you attack, we attack with little ball retention from either side. Brigg however did break the determined Westella defence on the half hour mark when midfielder Smith cut inside and fired a curling left foot effort in to the far side of the goal for 1-0. Neither side settled down as the game went on and from a…

Last weekend AFC Emley, this weekend saw the arrival of Penistone Church to The Euronics Ground, Barton for the NCEL division one tie as 2nd bottom Westella took on 2nd top in Penistone.

The game settled down some what with the visitors have some good chances failling to draw home keeper Lewis Exall in…
