Gameweek 4 -
Today we welcomed Neville Hill AFC over to Pontefract park coming off the back of a gruelling defeat last week to Hemsworth, Welfare we’re looking to make amends. With early morning drop outs and manager Jack away on holiday; Cj took charge. It’s becoming a norm that welfare start sluggish as we once again found ourselves 1-0 down early on with Neville Hill scoring off a set piece that wasn’t dealt with enough, but this bought welfare to life, spirits were lifted and Wakey came into the game and dominated plenty of the first half after the early goal when cane 1-1, captain Alex standing over a free kick on the halfway line (despite Cj telling him not to take it and to leave it for Harry, the quickest get fu**ed I’ve ever received in my life) Alex fired into the top left corner with the keeper unable to do anything about it. 5 minutes pass and with debutant Alex Lane causing problems up front, he spotted the keeper off his line and unleashed a rocket from 35 yards out which unfortunately rattled the crossbar - would of been a debut to remember
Half time 1-1
Then came the second half and welfare started well again having early chances, then came the abandonment, centre back fired into a 50/50 with Neville Hills winger and despite him not realising and trying to stand up, he stood up, tried to place pressure on it, turned to Alex and went “Ow, Alex it’s broken “ 🤣unfortunately he has suffered a double leg break from the challenge and we wish him the best and speediest recovery 💙🩷
