Newark Flowserve Academy 2 Linby CW FC Reserves 3

Walters, Start, Endy

This was only the second win of the season for the Reserves and Ash Ward's first in charge (he was at work when they defeated Bilborough Town) Adopting a now familiar 4-5-1 formation, with Jamie Start operating as the lone striker, Linby had the ideal start. They led on 15 minutes through young Tom Walters with a superb finish.

The wide men Walters and Mitch Duffin were ripping the home team apart time and again, and it was no surprise when Start put Linby 2 nil up on 28 minutes after good work from Mitch Duffin and Daryl Wooley.

The side then dropped to sleep and allowed Newark back into the game with 2 goals before half time. Last week's First team torturer Oli Wood and Dave Price the scorers.

Linby endured an intense period of pressure from the home team, but with centre backs Gaz Towle and Dan Ellis outstanding, helped by Lionel Howell in his new role as defensive midfielder, they rode out the storm. With only ten minutes left on the clock up popped Tom Endy with a brilliant 35 yarder into the top corner.
