What with this being the Albion's first league game since re-discovering the art of scoring goals, and Westgate's being second from bottom of the table, I expected us to be in with a chance. The line up was largely the same as for our recent cup victory, the four changes being Sean at right wing, Mark B at centre half, goalkeeper Rob replacing Giles and Irish Pete showing up on time this week at right back.

The Reds had the best of the first fifteen minutes, in a pattern that was to be reflected throughout the game we held the ball well, passed with increasing confidence and made their goalie work. Then Westgate scored with their only attempt thus far when their striker latched onto a defensive header giving Rob no chance. The Albion answered quickly, within two minutes Will had broken down the left and played a great through ball for Tom to rifle home. We had more good attacking moves and plenty of possession, our next goal came on twenty two minutes courtesy of Joss while Sean headed number three just before half time from Will's cross. The midfield worked particularly well, James was looking up and playing people in from all angles, while Rich covered him solidly. And Will was influential as ever, one of the opposition was heard berating his team mates for failing to compete in the air - "he's only five foot four for f*ck's sake!". Five foot three and three quarters I'm reliably informed.
