There was no first team match for Walsall Wood FC yesterday, but as I noted here, the Reserves were playing their Cadbury Athletic counterparts at Oak Park.

The young David Evans has been greatly enjoying the Reserve’s prowess of late, and they’ve been doing well, making a great alternative to the more challenging period being endured by the main team.

David watched the Reserves win 2-1, and sent the following gallery and captions. He said:

Final score WWFC 2 Cadbury 1

A most enjoyable match to watch. Excellent encouragement from WWFC manager, as usual.

There’s always good footy at Walsall Wood, and it’s great to see the Reserves getting some attention. Thanks to David for the report!

The match ends. The two teams of tired players have played with total commitment and enthusiasm and can look back on today’s sporting contest with pride.

Moment of rejoicing following the first goal. How would Cadbury respond?

Fast, flowing football by both teams in equal measure delighted spectators.

A sad moment. Cadbury’s goalkeeper about to leave the field of play after handling the ball outside his area following a breakthrough move by the Wood.

Cadbury wriggle a way through- without tumbling down- to score the equalising goal. Game on!

Effective passing and marking characterised today’s spectacle. Delightful
