This match was just about as even as the statistics would indicate. We did a better job of finishing than they did. I was almost positive Wokingham & Emmbrook were going to get a penalty kick after a rough foul by Shaw late in the first half, but the referee didn't award the penalty. I think we got away with one there.
Sumner was outstanding in every respect. He put Adams through with a very nice pass that set up our first goal, and he was a force defensively, too.
Michael Jatto came on in the 73rd minute and scored our second goal on a powerful header from the box.
Four of our players received contract offers, some from higher-level clubs, some from other amateur sides. Kellow, Botley, Beattie, and Cooper are all attracting quite a bit of attention; of the four, I'd most like to hold on to Beattie and Botley.
We have a week before our next fixture, so we can rest before our return to Alfredians Park to face Highmoor Ibis.
