Wonderboys 'must be better' in league matches says Whizz
Billy Whizz's Wonderboys dropped out of the National Cup in the first round last night, for the first time in the club's history, losing 2-1 to Thomas All Stars.
The Wonderboys scored with the first attack of note, as Mick Richards stole in to head home a Morten Fribo corner after just 6 minutes. Chances from Avery and Jones then went begging, as the visitors looked very comfortable, and were turning up the heat.
Keeper Jack Leese was called into action for the first time on 32 minutes, as he saved Mason's shot, but Thomas All Stars scored the equalizer just 2 minutes later. Mason neat Hawthorn on the wing, and Beckwith headed home his cross. Konz almost responded immediately, before a Benn corner was headed home by Mason, as the hosts found themselves winning a game they had been dominated in.
In the second half, the Whizzers seemed too happy to let the game slow down, which suited the All Stars, and never really threatened to level the game. A bad night was confirmed when it was confirmed Jones injured his leg, meaning he will be out for 2 weeks.
"It was a poor night for us" admitted Billy Whizz after the match. "We've got to build ourselves up, and try and make sure this doesn't affect our league performances this week. It's a crucial few days for the club, and while we haven't done as well as hoped in the cup, it's the league matches that matter, and we will be fully prepared for those"
