Pre Season Friendly
WOLLATON RESERVES 1 AFC KILBURN 0
Found out about this fixture on Thursday evening as I was attending Chilwell Olympica for the 3pm kick off when I discovered this was 1pm, so a double header was right up my street, so Hazel dropped me off from Mansfield at Hucknall Tram Station and a hours journey took me to Beeston where I had a breakfast before the kind bus driver put me off at the wrong stop, so a good 20 plus minute walk to the venue.
Both sides were eager to play and the first 15 minutes, the game was even, but then Kilburn started to take the upper hand and could well have been 3 or 4 goals to the good, but if you dont take your chances, it sometimes comes back to bite you.
Kilburn have just bought in the management of Quorn FC and a few of their players, so it was a stern test for the lads from Wollo, but the number 5 at the back was excellent covering every blade of grass in his half.
Lots of subs were made at half time and it was noticeable that Kilburn had a younger side on the pitch and this enabled Wollaton to step up their game and attack, so it came as no surprise after 70 minutes, when a header beat the keeper to give Wollaton the lead.
A good entertaining game and I should think both sides will have good seasons on this showing.
