Bosham 1 Westfield 2

Southern Combination division two

Westfield completed a surprising league double over Bosham with a hard-fought triumph against the Reds at Walton Lane.

Bosham started well and, despite few efforts, looked likely to pose the greater threat.

The quality in the final third wasn’t as it could be but, not long after the quarter-hour, Marco Giambelardini had a golden opportunity to open his account. A lovely through-ball found Giambelardini through on goal and keeper Joesph Cullip was no match for the striker who rounded him but somehow, he contrived to put his effort wide.

Just after the half-hour, Bosham were made to pay for the missed opportunities when Jordan Woodley opened the scoring for Westfield with a deflection for help, from a free kick just outside the area. The deflection completely wrongfooted keeper Kieran Magee.

Minutes later, Curtis Coombes headed in from a corner whipped in by Woodley. Bosham responded before the interval with Matt Docherty in the right place to control the ball and expertly pick his spot to bring the Reds back into it.

The second half was very open. Alex Barnes had a lovely curling effort saved by Cullip and with the Robins dominating it was frustrating they could not find a finish to their improving work.
