Match comments
1st XI: The first team suffered a disappointing loss as Robinsons recorded their first win of the season.
2nd XI: The 2nd XI kept up their drive for promotion winning by the odd goal in 3 against the students from Swansea to keep in touch with the two Bath sides at the top of the table. Slider's story: Our best team performance of the year, saw us control large portions of the game against a strong Swansea Uni side. Tony scored a fine opener and only some student goalkeeping heroics prevented us from getting a couple more goals in the 1st half. A breakaway goal frustratingly brought Swansea level but in true Westbury fashion, the tireless MoonDog scored a corker of a goal to bring us a deserved victory. A top performance from all concerned with Clintus Shoutalotatus Maximus pulling off a couple of fine saves, Ger never once missing a tackle and TC causing all sorts of problems to the Swansea defense.Great work gents. We're pulling clear of 4th spot and remain only a point behind the 2 Bath sides. 
3rd XI: The thirds lost for the second week in a row by the odd goal and have slipped away from the leaders. Simon Baker writes: The scorers for the thirds were Cutts and Limbo from a flick. Wasn't a pretty game and that was reflected by a moment near the end of the game where Sparky produced an excellent tackle, Difficult decision for the umpire, who called it as a good tackle. The opposition forward didn't think so and ended up throwing his stick and pushing Sparky over which only resulted in a yellow (i would have thought that would be a red card offence). As far as the game goes we were unfortunate to lose 3-2 as we continued relentless pressure but there was not enough patience in the build up. The goals we scored were deserved and the goals they got, I don,t think the two defenders guilty would like to talk about the two goals again.
Wanderers: The 23rd successive win makes it 5 out of 5 for the Wanderers. Tufty's talk: A very solid performance by the Wanderers in beating West Glos 3rds 3-0. Captain Wornell had his best game of the season and together with James Holliday and John Ludley (who ran himself into the ground) tied up the midfield (with Millman in there as well, pretending he knew what he was doing!). This left Gareth Nichols, Nick Evans and Ben Jones to share the duties up front, and they all came through with flying colours. Ben was really strong on the ball while Gareth and Nick made the runs to get available better than at any time this season. The two goals in the first half were not classics, Bens' topped shot looping gently over the prostrate goalkeeper, then James Holliday tapped in at the far post following John Ludley's shot(?). The third goal at the start of the 2nd half was worthy of winning the game, finished off by Gareth after good work from Nick. Not to forget the defence who did not allow a single short corner against in keeping a deserved clean sheet.
Wizards: The Wizards found the net twice against Firebrands, but let in 4 to lose their top of the table encounter.
Warriors: The Warriors jumped to 4th in the table with a comprehensive victory against S Glos. Pete Thomas e-mailed me this report: An excellent team performance against S Glos A, with everyone passing the ball around well and working hard to support the player with the ball. Apart from a patch in the second half, the midfield dominated the centre, allowing the forwards to stretch the defence. First half goals from Brian Nichols (Mark Colton swears his shot was going in, but Brian made sure from two inches out!!) and Graham Brown, placed the Warriors 2-0 up. S Glos struck back just after half time to make it 2-1. Relentless pressure and several short corners later Pete Thomas further increased the lead with 15 minutes to go & Mark Colton put the issue beyond doubt with a fourth in the last 10. Good work from Sam Parker & Rob Hughes created many chances down the right. The Warriors’ defence turned in the solid performance that became a trademark of last year, to elevate the team to fourth in the league.:
Widgets: Another close result for the Widgets, but where will the goals come from to secure a victory? Next week the opposition is S Glos, a team they beat last year which gives them a chance to end a run of 8 league defeats in a row.

Match comments
1st XI: The local derby with W Glos at Badminton school ended all square at 3-3. Meaks writes: At 3-1 up with 8 minutes to play West Gloucs could probably claim that their tactic of 70 minutes, yes 70 minutes, of half pitch, play-on-the-break hockey was the right one. Maybe it was just out of respect for our pace going forwards? What they hadn't counted on was the Westbury team spirit, no arguing amongst each other, no (major) arguing with the umpires and a persistent streak to never give up.It finished 3-3 with Bomber, Frosty and Roper getting the goals.Hopefully the other local derbies won't involve such negative tactics and be a bit more enjoyable to play in.
2nd XI: Slider's story\; Another battle and another win for the boys in red and green. A poor 1st half display was thankfully followed by a much improved 2nd half performance, with everyone raising their game superbly and battling hard for the win. The skipper pinched the winner by deflecting a Moonie short corner strike. After some good pressure from us, we probably deserved a second with Gary being cruelly denied a sublime assist as TC disallowed TC's late goal. This has kept us in 3rd, only a point behind the 2 Bath teams and some daylight between us and the chasing pack. Good work gents.
3rd XI: The thirds were rather sluggish against a young but skillful Firebrands side. Despite an early goal from JJ, the visitors built up a commanding 3-1 lead by half time. This became 4-1 early in the second period, a number of players looked off the pace of the game. Westbury then began to find some fire and control in their play, urged on by a 'Storming' Frank Gibbs. First Nick Evans snapped up a rebound, then Frank himself flicked home to make it 4-3. Firebrands broke away to score a fifth goal, but the 3rds were still not dead. Limbo cleverly deflected the ball in for 5-4. The last few minutes saw more attacks but the equaliser would not come. The visitors skill level was very impressive and in Jeremy Board they have the hardest hitter in local hockey, his two first half strikes were quicker than Flintoff and Harmison put together!
Wanderers: The Wanderers made it 22 straight league wins away at Firebrands. The home team should have scored first before Worny put Westbury ahead. Gareth Nichols then hit the post a minute later and Ben Jones thumped in the follow up. The Wanderers were well on top and opened the second half with a typical Tufty strike. The home team resorted to leaving a few sticks in when they lost the ball, whilst some of the moves Westbury made were of a high quality, just lacking in the final ball to turn several sweeping moves into a goal. When it did come, it was Steve Carter who was involved in the last two major incidents. He scored from Tufty's short corner slip, but then injudiciously bundled a youngster to the ground, earning a yellow card. Strangely the home defender who ran 20 metres to forearm him twice in the chest was not punished at all. In between Firebrands scored a well taken consolation goal. This was a good all round team performance. Gareth Nichol's skill caught the eye and Ben Jones looked very strong on the ball down the right.
Wizards: The Wizards were up against a young, fit student side. There were two survivors from the old Bristol 4th team and the rest were UWE youngsters. In a closely contested game, Bristol scored the only goal of the game to confirm their place at the top of the table.
Warriors: The Warriors looked stronger in midfield thanks to Dom Harris, who was making a rare start for the club. Graeme Brown's deft deflection gave the Warriors the lead, but O Bs wiped it out immediately from a penalty stroke. The first half was very even with Westbury looking much sharper down the left hand side. In the second half two Pete Thomas goals and a 'screamer' from Mike Harvey sealed the points to bring the team up to 2 wins and 2 defeats.
Widgets: The Widgets were first to find the net. Martin Palmer struck the ball across the face of goal, if hit a defender's foot and deflected into the net. The umpire, to the amazement of the home team signaled a short corner. It was downhill all the way after this set back, and Imperial scored at regular intervals. It was good to see Dave Holiday back, and he put in his usual solid game, this being his 40th season with the club. The marking by the home defence became more fragile as the game wore on. It was 3-0 to Imperial at the half. John Fox was unlucky to hit the post at 5-0 down. Martin Palmer skillfully created a goal for Harry Newington to make it 6-1. So far the Widgets have faced the three leading sides out of the four games played and have a 1 goal for and 30 against!

2nd XI v Bath University A North Div 2 0-2  
Match comments
The top five teams maintained their winning runs and remain at or near the top of their divisions. The Warriors struggled against strong opposition and the Widgets fell to another defeat.
1st XI: The first team did not quite match the 8 goals they stuck in twice last season against Torbay, but with a 3-2 win it is still another 3 points. This shows the team have established a winning pattern in prem 2 with three successive wins. Frosty, Shadwell and Goody were on target.
2nd XI: Moonie struck twice to win yet another local derby with W Glos. As a club we are 3 wins out of 3 against W Glos. This result looks much closer, but like the 1st XI it is 3 more points safely in the bag. Slider's story: The weekend began on Saturday with a 2-1 win against West Glos. The warm-up went well, the umpire was 30 mins late, one of our ginger midfielders (I think it was Terry, but it's always hard to tell) got told off for pissing in the corner of the pitch, Moonie practised on his own for 15mins with a school bench he found somewhere... and then the game began. An awesome first 20mins saw us score precisely nought out of 10 chances and saw TC blown up everytime he touched the ball. Following this, we strangely eased off a bit and made hard work of the rest of the match. 2 cracking goals from 'The Moondog' saw us home, despite W Glos getting a cheap goal back at the death... no blame attached for it, but ask Clint and Ger for more details. Sunday saw more late arrivals, this time from some of us and all of Bath Uni. Even though we were playing a bunch of students, it was us who seemed to be the team with the hangover and we found it tough going against a very good side. There were few chances in the match but a deflection and a smart finish saw the students win 2-0. Oh, and Adam and Griff earnt themselves 'well-deserved' / 'undeserved' (delete as appropriate) yellows! A great effort from everyone this weekend, just a shame we couldn't raise our game yesterday. Back to winning ways this weekend.
3rd XI: The 3rd XI in the last game of last season lost 1-0 to N Bristol, denying them the runners up spot. This week they managed to find the goals that alluded them last year. At 3-2 it was another close result and it keeps the threes top of the table.
Wanderers: Tufty told me that this was not a very impressive Wanderers performance. They were 1-0 down at the half, and N Bristol were pinging the ball all over the place with the sun behind them, especially from 16s. In the second half the roles were reversed and Westbury snapped up most of the visitor's passes and hits. Along the way goals steadily popped in and on paper it looks a good result. This makes it 21 league wins on the trot!
Wizards: The Wizards also won by the odd goal after going 1-0 down at home to O Bs. They recovered with goals from Alan Christopher and Pete Farrell to win 2-1. After last season's disappointing results, the team have come out and made a mark on the restructured league as the sit near the top of the table.
Warriors: Last season the defence was superb, their solid defending hid the weaknesses in the passing game up front. Against much stronger opposition those weaknesses were cruelly exposed. Most of the goals conceded came from poorly executed passes in the N Somerset half. However, their second goal came when the umpire signaled a hit to Westbury but waited to see if the advantage came, a home player then came away with the ball, the umpire put down his hand and they scored an almost unopposed goal with everyone expecting a free hit. In the opening 20 minutes the Warriors actually had more attacks than N Somerset, but failed to turn any of them into chances in the D. By half time the home team were 5-0 up. Graeme Brown created an opening for Martin Palmer to score a consolation goal in the second half but N Somerset found the net 5 more times. Mark Colton was named man-of-the-match.
Widgets: The Widgets put up a much better performance at N Bristol, they were reduced to ten men before the start through unforeseen circumstances and battled hard to make an impact. A 2-0 defeat ensued, but there was more organisation in the way they played.

Match comments

ON SUNDAY: VETERANS: Mark Colton writes: The result was ISCA 8 Westbury 0. This should not hide the fact that the veterans gave their all for the club. In fact we had the best of the early exchanges, but Isca then built well and used space effectively.Pete Thomas did hit the post in the second half, and we did deserve a goal, but it was not to be. Despite the result we all enjoyed a challenging game and I am sure we all have our own memories. Especially Mike Harvey who showed some superb skills with only inches to work in on the touch line. A point that was made by the oppostion as Mike went past.Thanks to George for organising the team, especially as today was his birthday. This was my first tatse of Vets hockey for the club and look forward to many more games.

BANTING'S BANTER The Vets put up a spirited and battling performance against ISCA Vets in Exeter on Sunday. We started well and, at the end of a good passing move, had the ball in their D before they had been in our half. However, an early break from ISCA with some swift passing and excellent running off the ball led to a pin-point accurate shot from the top of the D that flew home at ground level just inside the post. We continued to work hard during the first half but were up against a team that was very effective at doing the basics well and at great pace. ISCA’s movement off the ball was excellent and their passing was early, crisp and accurate. Despite this we played some decent hockey ourselves at times and won a few short corners. ISCA also won some shorts, but neither team converted any. Bringing Alan Christopher back into a deeper role helped a bit during the last ten minutes of the first half, but we still turned round 5-0 down. We made a slight change at half-time, moving Mark Colton back to central defender (from right wing), moving George Banting up (from central defender) to join Alan Sparks in central midfield and leaving Pete Thomas and Alan Christopher as the two forwards. ISCA really came at us at the start of the second half, they had obviously been fired up by a half time team talk, and soon scored another goal, but from then on we contained them pretty well, had several attacks ourselves, won more short corners; but were unable to score. One attack from open play led to Pete Thomas cracking the ball against a post, but it rebounded to an ISCA player rather than one of ours. Mike Harvey showed his usual silky skills down the left, as did Mark Crofts on the right, and the irrepressible Chris Cocks continued to make overlapping runs from right back all through the game. We held ISCA to one goal in the second half until about 3 minutes from the end when a couple of mistakes led to us conceding two late goals. Stuart Horn played a blinder in goal and the whole team played out of their skins in the second half, giving everything for the cause. We understand (courtesy of one of the umpires) that the ISCA team contained ‘at least four ex GB players’ two of whom were wearing their England Vets shorts!! The Westbury Vets team could not have played much better, we had a good day out, were well fed by ISCA in their clubhouse afterwards, and just wish that we could have scored one goal in reply (and held ISCA to only one goal in the second half). We are looking forward to the Plate competition and wish ISCA every success (they don’t need luck) in future rounds.

Team: Horn, Fey, Cocks, Banting, Hudd, Crofts, Sparks, Harvey, Colton, Christopher, Thomas, Nichols.

ON SATURDAY: An impressive day for the club today with 6 wins for the established sides. As the league season begins to unfold already the twos, threes, Wanderers and Wizards are setting the pace at the top of their divisions, with the firsts not far behind. The Warriors can start moving up the table after their first win. The Widgets are in desperate need of experience, especially up front as they fell to a second heavy defeat.
1st XI: Another 3 points were secured by the first team at Swindon. JP and Nellie were on target as the firsts start building some momentum with two successive wins.
2nd XI: The scorecard said 9 but officially it was 8 plus a phantom goal by Village. According to Phil it was a good goal unaccountably disallowed by Bish. Moonie completed a hat-trick with TC, Baby (2 each) and Terry Watts completing the bone-fida goals! It also appears that a Chepstow foot played a big part in one of their goals, however, the second team steam rollered through the opposition defence. The twos can look forward to a challenge for promotion with the rearranged match with Bath University a key indicator for how successful they can be.
3rd XI: The thirds ran up a cricket score against S Glos. JJ scored 3, Adam Banting continued his scoring run with 2, Chris Cutts added 2 himself, Gary Catchpole added one and there was a strike from defender Nick Coats to complete the scoring. Limbo had a duck to his name! The thirds are in the top two positions along with Firebrands and their playing strength suggests another run for promotion after last year's near miss.
Wanderers: Another comprehensive win for the Wanderers to keep them top of the table. Simon Slater added two more in his first season at Westbury. Gareth Nichols got his first of the season, John Ludley, Steve Carter and Worny completed the scoring. That makes it 20 successive league wins. It looks as if Bristol University and Firebrands will be the main rivals at the top of the table.
Wizards: A second win for the Wizards. Geoff Rickard was on target twice (his first goals of the season), Alan Christopher, Matt Taylor, Mark Crofts and Chris Cocks added the others. The Wizards too have opened with two straight wins and look to be amongst the leaders. Their challenge will come from Firebrands and hopefully the Warriors.
Warriors: A good first win for the Warriors in the league. Sam Parker guided in Mike Harvey's shot from a short corner. Pete Thomas grabbed a second after W Glos had equalised, Pete could easily have scored 3 or 4 but admitted afterwards that his first touch is letting him down. W Glos only came with 10 men. On a day when Westbury put 77 players onto the pitch, W Glos could only field 54! The game was made safe by Martin Palmer's second half strike after a long spell of home pressure, the goal coming after some good work by Sam Parker and Tufty. W Glos were reduced to 9 men after a defender caught a stick in the mouth and left for dental treatment. (Mouth guards ought to be mandatory!) Tufty then burst the net with his powerful shot to wrap it all up from a defence splitting pass from Martin Palmer. Brian Nichols was named man-of-the-match and there were good performances from Will Enderby, Mark Colton and Rob Hughes. A much better performance against a team who at times didn't look as if they were a man short.
Widgets: The Widgets were unable to hold the ball up front again and fell to an 8-0 defeat against Frys. Clive Stadden made a return after rescinding his retirement of 4 years and cleared one shot off the line. Nick Hudd showed some neat touches at centre half, but the team could not get any control and had few attacking options. The 2 goals scored by Frys in the first half came about 45 seconds apart, as did their 3rd and 4th goals in the second half. Stuart Horn got close to saving a penalty stroke late in the game, but Frys finished well on top. Jay Lutwych, who looked sharp on the right wing a few weeks back was pressed into service at left midfield and put in a solid performance. The Widgets might have been better served with him up front.

Match comments
1st XI: The first team gained their first points of their Premier 2 campaign with a decisive 5-2 win against Firebrands second team. The goals were shared by Frosty, Wally, JP, Goodie and Pyscho, obviously anyone without a nickname didn't get any chances! A good win against the team that finished 4th last season.
Meaks wrote on the forum...The first points of the campaign. A nervy start and a goal down followed by a strong comeback with some good attacking play from the home side. The game opened up towards the end and we could have had a few more goals. Bomber and Shads deserve mention for their defensive work and also Deaks who made a pretty good push for selection at left wing/center forward for next week.
Scorers: Watters, Poulsom, Parrish, Goodman, Frost. Unfortunately no birthday goal for Mason, just turned 24 last Thursday.
2nd XI: Last year's 2nd XI trip to Swansea Bay ended in a heavy defeat, this year the drive back must have been a lot 'sweeter', with a 2-0 win safely secured thanks to strikes from Tony Webster and Village.
3rd XI: The thirds must already be contenders when you look at the names on the score sheet, Adam Banting, Gary Catchpole and JJ all have second team credentials. Having forwards of their quality makes it a very strong 3rd XI...watch this space. Simon Baker writes: The thirds got their campaign off to a solid start with a decent 4-1 win over OB's. For the first 20-25 minutes there was only one side in the game with the midfield and forwards linking up nicely to create many chances. Two penalty flicks in quick succession scored by Adam Banting were well deserved and a brilliant counter attacking move with Gary Catchpole showing some pace out of nowhere! played the ball to JJ who finished nicely. The defence was solid if i do say so myself but a sloppy goal was conceded before half time with a misunderstanding which allowed OB's an undeserved goal. Second half was much more solid with a lot of ball possession and a well earned goal by Gary was much appreciated to put the game out of OB's reach. Goals could have come thick and fast but their keep had a good game and the forwards were unlucky with a many shots finishing agonisingly wide. However this was a good looking third team playing a lot of attractive hockey which bodes well for the season.
Wanderers: After a couple of glitches in their friendlies, the Wanderers took up their customary position at the top of the table. To make it even better the 6-0 win was against local rivals W Glos. Simon Slater in his first season at Westbury added his name to the score sheet. Dave Watkins got in on the act too, whilst the other scorers Carter, Tufty and Worny have a very familiar ring about them That makes it 19 straight league wins!
Wizards: The Wizards second half performance was very bitty, with players running with the ball, losing it, getting it back and running again. There were few moves involving good passes. Indeed there were some anxious moments when sloppy passes led to Weston almost scoring. Martin Eland made one great blocking save, whilst Tim Denner looked well in control when others beside him were struggling to be effective in moving the ball forward. Matt Taylor had one great run forward and Geoff Rickard looked lively. However, it was veteran Alan Christopher who was the match winner. He scored the first and created the second with some clever play on the top of the D, enabling Nick Evans to guide in the winner.
Warriors: The Warriors were well up for this game against the old Embers team made up of some very experienced former first teamers. Jamie Cranfield, Will Halliday and Jurgen played some neat, controlled hockey. Westbury had the greater proportion of the first half with Firebrands resorting to aimless hits that went off the back line. Their one decisive attack led to a well struck goal. The Warriors created a couple of half chances but suffered from last season's lack of penetration, a point made by Brian Nichols at half time. Unfortunately Firebrands had the lion's share of the second half and Westbury were unable to get to the home D more than twice. Stuart Horn pulled off two fine saves.
Widgets: The Widgets lacked experience and fell to a heavy defeat against a Robinsons side that was slightly flattered by the score line. The Widgets defence played quite well but the inability of the side to hold the ball for long up front, meant that it was relentless pressure for the Westbury defence. Westbury were denied two penalty strokes when a foot on the line and a stick tackle from behind only earned short corners.
