Westella & Willerby Beat Town To Go Top Of Humber Premier League

Wood struck in each half from a corner to ensure it was the visitors that earned maximum points in this encounter.

The victory sees the Westella move top of the Humber Premier League while town slip to fifth in the table.

Town manager Rich Jagger was disappointed with the result while he did feel Westella were good value for the win.

Speaking after the match Jagger said;

“It was a disappointing performance from us, we were nowhere near our best. We struggled to keep the ball and failed to create many chances at all.”

“The two goals we conceded were also very disappointing considering they both came from corners. I have no qualms about the result, Westella  deserved the win.”

While the result or performance was up to scratch there was one positive from the Jagger.  New signing Adam Bowse made what he felt made an impact from the bench.

Commenting on the performance of his new addition Jagger said;

“I thought Bowse coming off the bench gave us something different. He did well and he will be pushing to make his full debut next week.”
