Big win for Town

Woodley visited Eton Wick and were glad to be back in action after a lengthy break due to the weather. The two sides were close in terms of league position and it was an even start to the game as both sides got used to playing football again. Luke Williams was prominent in Woodley's attacks and his mazy runs were causing plenty of problems for the home side. Carl Davies almost scored when he turned sharply on the edge of the area and curled his shot marginally over while Chris Hatton forced a last ditch block from the last man as he looked to finish from a cross six yards out.

Eton Wick's best chance came to their tricky winger as he danced into the area evading challenges, but he failed to make contact after he swung and missed. Oneal Garnes was relatively untroubled throughout the half and dealt with crosses confidently. Nick Edwards was on the end of a good move involving the returning Jamie Fairchild and Eden Peters and Edwards struck a volley goal bound, only for Mark Banfrey to save well in the Eton goal.

Woodley opened the scoring ten minutes into the second half. Davies raced onto the loose ball in behind the Eton Wick defence and when he reached the ball before the covering man, the challenge came in and up-ended the forward to win a penalty. Davies scored from the spot, but Eton got back into the game when a shot from the edge of the box was deflected into the path of the unmarked Alex Gibson and he scored the equaliser.

The game could have gone either way and Garnes in the Woodley goal was commanding his penalty area to relieve the constant aerial threat from Eton from set pieces. Woodley got the next goal though and it was again from the penalty spot. Defender Andrew Nunn burst forward from the back and linked up with Dan Jewell before being felled as he was about to shoot. Davies got his second of the game and it was then Woodley who looked like it was theirs to loose.

Hatton had an excellent chance six yards out to kill the game but he lifted his shot over the bar. Davies had the ideal chance for his hat-trick as Williams drew Banfrey out and he squared for Davies to finish off, but the striker controlled and dwelled as the Eton defence recovered. It looked as though the chance had gone, but Davies laid the ball back to Williams and he in turn picked out Hatton who steered the ball in to the far corner to make it 3 - 1.

Williams got the fourth for Woodley with 10 minutes remaining after he beat the offside trap and then finished the run with a cool shot into the back of the net. Substitute Sam Cripps had an acrobatic effort go just wide late on and Woodley recorded another impressive away result.
