The team coped well with the very warm weather and were much too good for their West Riding County Amateur League opponents.

Westend started well, surprising the home team with some excellent moves and going very close on more than one occasion in the first twenty minutes.  Headers from Toyan Greaves and Sam Boothroyd were saved and Dean Knox should have done better with another headed chance in the 25th minute.  A fine run by Sam Boothroyd ended with a trip in the area but Matthew Sanderson fired tamely at the keeper from the spot to give the home team a lifeline.

South Bradford looked dangerous on the break and keeper Darren Weaver had to pull off two good saves to keep them out.  The introduction of Dorran Noel ten minutes from half time proved decisive and his superb right wing cross gave Peter Tomlinson a simple chance to head past the keeper from ten yards in the 40th minute.

The second half saw the visitors piling on the pressure and a quick free kick from Frank O.Kenn gave Tomlinson the chance to score his second and effectively end the match as a contest.

After a spell of incessant attacking play a great run and cross from Tom Wigley was diverted into his own net by a despairing South Bradford defender to give the visitors a comfortable 3-0 lead.

Tomlinson missed two easy chances and Frank O.Kenn and Paddy Chapman both went close in the dying minutes.

Tom Wigley and James Prieditis took the Man of The Match honours closely followed by Dorran Noel, Darren Weaver and Jack Taylor.

27 players enjoyed a rare tropical evening at Westend.
Highlight of the night was the usual late arrival of Spina (on 58 minutes late) and a cracker of a goal from Toyan with his very first touch.
Ben Johnson and Sam Boothroyd were outstanding in the first team squad and Reserve team manager Andy Noble was impressed with Jack Taylor and Chris Hampson.  All four players get the chance to push for a first team place on Saturday against South Bradford.
Tom Wigley was unavailable due to having to attend his 18th Birthday celebrations.  Ricky is confident that he ordered steak and eggs for his main course. 
Seven sessions gone and only Sam, Bou, Guy, Dean and San can boast 100% records.  

(Sat 19 July)

The players enjoyed a light speed training session put on by Andy Noble, followed by a closely contested conditioned match.

Amongst the players to catch the eye were youngsters Chris Hampson, Tom Johnson, Josh Lockwood and Adam Haigh.

Sam Boothroyd, Marvin Gaye, Tom Wigley and James Prieditis were the pick of the others.

Despite their late arrival Frank O.Kenn and Kenny Okonkwo both showed they have lost none of their fitness with some excellent touches during the match.  Both players look eager for action and we will hopefully see more of them during the pre season training.
42 players have now registered for the District League.
