match abandoned
Due to an injury of a Shifnal player which resulted in an ambulance being required it was decided by the referee to abandon the game with 13 mins remaining. The score at the time was 2-1 to the Amateurs. Overall it was a scrappy game and Shifnal were by far the better team in the first half but didn't take the chances given. Second half Amateurs played far better and scored a couple of good goals through Craig Brown and Nelly Jones. The injury then brought the game to a stop. Everyone at Wellington Amateurs would like to wish the Shifnal player well and we hope he has a speedy recovery.

Youth struggle
The Youth team lost a second consecutive league game and never really deserved to get anything from the game. Wem were the more dominate and played to the pitch conditions far better. Wellington created few chances through out the game and were very disappointed with the goals conceded.We now have to get back to the early season form to keep ourselves in the race and what will be a tight league. Final result 3-0

Youth team finish with nine
In a game that was anticipated to be flowing football between two top sides, it ended up being dominated by a referee who was intent on doing his best to spoil the game( I unable to make any further comments).
With a gusting wind it proved difficult for both sides but each team was trying to play decent passing football. Amateurs were first to try and take the lead with a shot from Chris Airey which skimmed the top of the bar. Hanwood then created a couple of chances but were unable to take. Then in the 8 min a through ball caught the Amateurs on the back foot and the Hanwood player slotted home from inside the box. It was then a pretty even game until shortly before half time an attempted clearence header from a cross was turned into his own net from Shaun Davies which made the score 2-0 at half time. the Amateurs came out in the second half with the wind in their backs and right from the start Hanwood were under pressure and a couple of scrambles in the box went Hanwoods way and they were able to clear. The Hanwood keeper also made a couple of decents saves. Hanwood were also creating chances in what was becoming an open game has the Amateurs chased the game. Then a penalty was awarded to the Amateurs and Chris James slotted home with the second attempt after it was retaken. Then a couple of minutes later it looked like Amateurs had secured a point when Shaun Davies rose above a defender to score with his head only for the goal to be ruled out for a push which only the referee seemed to see!! Then Hanwood on the stroke of full time secured the points with a well taken goal. All credit to both teams who played some terrific football and maybe a draw would have been a fair result but it means the league is again tight with the Amateurs losing their first league game of the season. Next weeks game at Wem Youth now becomes very importent to get back on the right track.
