Division One
Whitworths 1 Wellingborough Town 2004 2
Saturday, 24 December 2005
The Doughboys must now be considered title favourites in Division One after this raid over the fence saw them get the better of their table topping neighbours. Nick Mason gave the visitors a first minute lead and the 'law of the ex' saw former Flourmen favourite James Daldy make a goalscoring return with the second Doughboys goal after twenty minutes. Lee Purser replied for Whitworths seven minutes before the interval, heading in a Matt Freeman corner from close range but despite their best efforts after the break Wellingborough held on for a vital win.
A talking point was the phenomenal attendance of 1,150 - thought to be a record for the division in modern times.
Whitworths: Phil Turner, Neil Chance (Dan Spaughton), Kris Line, Scott Whitney, Lee Purser, Ross Howes, Stuart Goosey, Ben Holley (James Blake), James Westley, Matt Freeman, Sean Lonergan (Danny O'Neil).
Wellingborough: John Hughes, Tyrone Hicks, Jack Stevens, Chris Goode, Craig Norman, Jack Upton (Carl Hathaway), Nick Mason, Mitch Blande, James Daldy (Rob Foster), Jamie Russell, Jon Mitchell (Callum Ridgway). |
