Winsford win again!

By Jonathan Wright

Winsford United made it 3 wins in 3 and 6

points in the last 3 days after a strong 4-1

win at home at Barton stadium against

Padiham Monday night

Winsford took the lead after 10 minutes

when Wealth Da Silva’s powerful strike

from the edge of thebox was spilled by the

goalkeeper leading toa simple tap in for Sam

Madeley.

Winsford were playingwell and tried to extent the lead with some

good chances. Sam Madeley shot wide after a long ball went through everyone

and a corner lead to a goalmouth scrabblewhich was eventually cleared by Padiham.

The away side soon started to grow intothe game however and scored the

equaliser on the half hour mark throughSimon Nangle.

Driven on by the determination to regain the lead Winsford soon

shifted into top gear again and scored just minutes later through a

scruffy corner which ended up going in off Madeley after some

sloppy defending.

Winsford extended their lead 10 minutes later after a terrific run from Madeley before

chipping the ball to a delighted D’Arcy O’Connor for a simple header into an

empty net. Winsford were well deserving of their lead at the half time break.

After a very quiet and scrappy first 20 minutes of the second half, Winsford

scored what ended up being the final and the finest goal of the game after a brilliant

cross from substitute Brian Mathews found Sam Madeley who ghosted in

behind the defender and poked the ball in for his hat-trick.

Unfortunately, the rest of the game was very similar to the start of the second half

with limited chances for either side. But in the end Winsford go away from the

game with a fantastic performance and result which sees them climb up to 9th in

the table.
