Winsham United FC in their new strip
Match Report-Winsham United v Uplyme (0-2) 31st October
With storm Zeta affecting most games
in the PSDL, Winsham’s game vs Uplyme had the go ahead! Donning a new kit
Winsham were missing key personnel against an inform Uplyme team. Winsham
started well, creating multiple chances in the first quarter that lacked a
finishing touch. Uplyme took the lead at the half hour mark, a well taken strike
from around twenty yards and were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty late into
the first half. Chances fell to Dan Harvey and Karl Fletcher to grab the
equaliser, but the Uplyme goalkeeper stood strong.
Into the second half and Winsham
searched for an early equaliser with two valid penalty appeals waved on by the
referee. Winsham continued to push men forward, allowing Uplyme to secure a
second as they broke away with a quick counter. A final result of 2-0 to Uplyme,
a fair result against the best team Winsham have come up against this season.
All the Winsham team gave their all in a physical and enjoyable encounter. Man
of the match Richard White in the sticks upset a couple Uplyme players with his
performance. Not just his unbelievable saves in goal, but reminding players not
to cross the line!
Match Report-Winsham United v Chard Rangers First (5-1) 24th October
Winsham return to Bakersfield with a
5-1 win against rivals Chard Rangers First. A sloppy start to the game as the
wet weather settled in for the afternoon. Neither side really settled for the
first 20. A tactical change from the Winsham manager Jay Stewart introduced
better attacking play from the Winsham side. The introduction of Tom Stead saw
him break the deadlock with a fine strike that couldn't be kept out by the
Rangers keeper. 1-0 Winsham at half time.
Into the second half and Winsham start
well. Matt Gaylard controlled a deflected corner to produce a tidy volley into
the corner of the net. 2-0 Chard Rangers react well and produce a well taken
goal to get them back into the game. Winsham then started to run riot, Steady
taking his second of the game. Quickly followed by Ross Goodland finishing off a
well worked play across the box and passed the ball into an empty net. Goal
machine Tom Stead was keen to complete his hat-trick, and so he did. Taking the
ball inside the box at a tight angle and blasting the ball into net. Another
memorable hat-trick for the big man. Full Time 5-1 Winsham. Well done lads!
Match Report- Winsham United v Shepton Beauchamp Reserves (1-2) 10th October
This week’s fixture saw
a young Shepton side come out on top of a well battled game. Shepton
started the game with consistent attacking threat against the Winsham
defence. Standing strong for the first 10, but Shepton found themselves
1-0 ahead after Winsham failed to clear the ball. Not long after the
Shepton side gained the confidence to outplay the Winsham midfield,
slotting the ball through the middle as the Shepton striker only had the
keeper to beat 2-0. Midway through the first half Winsham switched it
up, with Joe Simmons filling in at CB as Tony Harwood pushed into the
midfield. Winsham started to win the battle in the middle, and gained a
degree of control as the first half came to an end.
Winsham went into the
second half with great momentum. The lads fought for every 1st and 2nd
ball and started to press the Shepton defence. All we needed was a goal,
hard work from striker Dan Harvey paid off as his pinpoint strike from
the edge of the box put Winsham back into the game 2-1. Space opened up
in the Winsham defence as we pushed for the equaliser. Fantastic work
from goalkeeper Richard White kept the Winsham side in the game, a
couple of exceptional saves. Winsham continued to push the Shepton side
back into their half, but couldn't find the equalising goal. |
Match Report- Winsham United v Forton Rangers Reserves (0-3) 26th September,2020

A somewhat scruffy second half didn't get going well. An early injury into the
first 20 saw goalkeeper Richard White replaced. At this stage legs were
beginning to tire in the last twenty, giving Forton multiple opportunities to
increase the 1-0 lead. Winsham tried to press for the equaliser, but allowed
Forton to take 2 further goals in the last quarter. A couple chances for Winsham
to get back into the game, but we just weren't clinical in front of goal. 0-3
Unlucky lads, on to the next one!
Match Report-Crewkerne Rangers Reserves v Winsham United ( Tom Stead-4) 19th September
Winsham United kicked off the 2020/21 season away to Crewkerne Rangers Reserves.
With a delay to the start of the game Winsham were put under early pressure by
the Crewkerne side. Conceding a penalty to give Crewkerne the lead. With the
momentum behind Crewkerne, they went on to take a deserved 2-0 lead. Winsham
kick started into action with a well worked goal taken by Karl Fletcher on his
Winsham debut, an excellent finish looping over the keeper. Late into the first
half Winsham pressed the Crewkerne side and found an equaliser through Winsham's
Finest Tom Stead. A well taken goal to make it 2-2 at half time.
Into the second half and Winsham came out of the blocks to take the lead through
Tony Harwood. Then the game turned into a Tom Stead master class. A fantastic 30
yard strike from Steady found itself tucked into the top right corner 2-4. A
strike that Steady won't let us forget. With his competence in front of goal
Steady proceeded to slot in another 2 to make it 6-2 to Winsham. Tom Stead
netted a total of 4, which he made sure that everyone knew about! An excellent
performance from the Winsham side to take 3 points in our first league fixture.
Some noticeable performances today, Craig Parris returning to dominate the
midfield, Gary Male with a good shift at LB, and of course that man Tom Stead.
Well done lads!
Winsham put in a good performance in our last friendly game hosted by Millwey
Rise AFC. Winsham started the game strong, playing the game in the Millwey half.
The game developed into a well-defended first half by Winsham. Millwey were not
able to secure any clear cut chances. However, a well-struck shot found itself
nestled into the top right corner before the break. Millwey 1 Winsham 0. Winsham
went on to handle the game dominantly in the second half, with little for the
Winsham goalkeeper to handle.
Winsham continued to battle and press for the equaliser. As the game proceeded
into the last quarter, Winsham were beginning to breakdown the Millwey defense.
Presenting multiple opportunities in the final third, a goal was on its way.
Into the final minutes of the game and Winsham continued to knock on the door
for an equaliser. A string of attacks and well played football presented Dan
Harvey with only the keeper to beat. Slotting the ball into the back of the net
with almost the last kick of the game. Millwey 1 Winsham 1
Match Report-Winsham United v Perry Street Reserves-Saturday, 5th September
The game yesterday was fantastic. We had 17 players wanting to play and received
great support also. Winsham played some great passing football and were winning
2-0 at half time with goals from Joe Simmons and Dan Collins. In the second half
we began to fade with lack of match practice and fitness and a very young Perry
Street team scored 4 goals in the final 25 minutes making the final score 4-2 to
Perry Street. The game was very enjoyable for all and we look forward to the
next game. (away to Millway Rise Reserves 12/09/2020).
