Westfield are through to the 4th round of the Velocity Trophy (League Cup) for the first time after a dramatic night at Alwyn's Lane. The hosts took the lead in the 3rd minute when Capitan Luke Robertson headed home from a right wing cross. Westfield responded immediately and after Jake Baxter round Paul McCarthy and saw his shot cleared off the line he picked up the loose ball and bent home an absolute beauty into the top corner. Despite looking the most likely going forward we found ourselves going into the break 2-1 down when Oliver MCCoy finished superbly just inside the box after good work from Ben Mendoza down the left. The second half was an entertaining affair with both sides attacking and lots of chances created. Both keepers excelled but the home side were reduced to 10 men with 6 minutes remaining when Robertson went from hero to villain picking up 2 quick yellow cards. Westfield continued their onslaught and a minute into stoppage time deservedly drew level when Caleb Wright nodded home Andy Crossley's cross. Into penalties and after Crossley,Baxter,Gogonas all netted against their former side and after Archy Taylor scored it was left to Billy Nutbeam to seal the win after former Westfield U23 striker Botti was denied by Sonny Wheeler. The classy left back sent McCarthy the wrong way to ensure Westfield's place in the hat. #WestfieldFC
