Waddon Wanderers 5-4 Motspur Park

In a thrilling first weekend of the Surrey South Eastern Combination league season, Waddon Wanderers emerged victorious over Motspur Park with a score of 5-4. The match was marred by an unfortunate injury to the Motspur Park goalkeeper seconds before the kick-off, leaving the team without a designated shot-stopper.

Despite the setback, Motspur Park’s replacement goalkeepers put in a valiant effort, but their efforts were not enough to secure a victory. Waddon Wanderers took an early lead, but Belcher’s brace in the 20th minute brought Motspur Park back on level terms.

The latter part of the first half and the opening minutes of the second half saw Waddon re-take the lead and extend their winning margin to three goals.

A backheel from Aiman and a header from Rampton saw Motspur Park come within a one goal deficit but the match ended in a 5-4 loss.

Motspur Park will look to bounce back from this defeat and secure their first victory of the season in their next match.
