Date:

Score:
TW 3 : Betley
1
Betley provided much stiffer opposition in this
league encounter and whilst TW looked comfortable for long periods
Betley were dangerous on the break and only a string of fine saves by
Oliver Tyler, including two penalty saves, kept TW in front.
Stevie Pover again showed his composure in front of goal with
three fine goals for his second hat trick of the season.

Score:
TW 5 : Betley
0
On a very windy day TW were able to control the
match from the start. Matt
Sheen proved a real handful for the Betley defence with many strong
runs and crosses from the left flank from which Stevie Pover scored
two well taken goals. Matt added two goals himself and Max Himbury
also scored a good goal.

Score:
TW 6 : Blacon
YC 12
After the disappointment of the previous weeks
match the boys picked themselves up to give a good display against
Blacon. The first half
was close with the defence working hard to restrict Blacon’s chances
on goal and TW were able to go in at half time leading 2 – 1.
Blacon equalised early in the second half with a well struck
goal but TW responded with a goal almost immediately to restore their
lead and were then able to capitalise with three further goals on the
break as Blacon pressed.

Another disappointing result against the league
leaders who dominated the game from the start.
The only consolation this time is that we did manage to find
the net when Stevie Pover broke clear to slot the ball past the ASC
goalkeeper.

Score:
TW 4 : Alsager Panthers 2
Another very close match against a good Alsager
side. TW withstood considerable pressure in the first half with Jack
Harrison making a great debut in defence. In the second half TW took
control with four good goals from Max Himbury, Terry Rowlands, Tom
McAndrew and Stevie Pover, who also hit the post twice with good
efforts.

Score:
TW 0 : Crewe FC 3
A much closer match than the score line
suggested. TW gifted Crewe FC a goal direct from a corner very early
in the match but then worked really hard to contain Crewe FC.
In the second half TW pressed hard for an equaliser but despite
several good chances were unable to score.
Crewe FC were dangerous on the break scoring a second goal. TW
then had a penalty awarded when Max Himbury was brought down in the
box after a tremendous run virtually the whole length of the pitch.
Unfortunately TW were unable to convert the penalty and Crewe
FC added a third just before the end.

Score:
TW 2 : Brookfield Rangers 6
Another
match played on a very large, and sloping pitch. Playing downhill in the first half Tarporley created several
good early chances but were unable to convert any of them. Brookfield countered well scoring two quick goals.
Tarporley pulled themselves back into the game to level the
score at half time but were outplayed in the second half as Brookfield
made much better use of the slope, scoring several very good long
range goals to win the game as Tarporley tired.

M Sheen 1, Stevie Pover 1, G Gresty 1
Another close,
exciting game against the former Stapely Corinthians side.
Tarporley deservedly took the lead in the first half but were
put under constant pressure in the second half.
As against Alsager the defence was well organised and stood
firm until 4 minutes from the end when Corinthians scored a well taken
goal from distance. As
Nantwich continued to press Tarporley scored two excellent goals on
the break in the last two minutes to take the points.

A very difficult game
for Tarporley, who with no subs, were down to 10 men early on through
injury. The match was
played on a virtually full sized astro pitch against very good
opposition used to the conditions. Down 3 – 0 at half time the lack
of substitutes told in the second half as the team became increasingly
tired. Only an excellent
display by Oliver Tyler kept the score down to single figures.

A good start to the
season against an Alsager side who enjoyed the majority of possession,
particularly in the second half.
However, excellent defending by Tarporley restricted the number
of goal scoring opportunities for Alsager and Tarporley showed great
composure in front of goal to score three very good goals.
The final goal was particularly pleasing as it was scored
through a great passing move from a Tarporley goal kick, the ball
being passed quickly three times down the right wing before Max
Himbury slotted the ball home.
