A particularly warm welcome is extended to our Match Officials and all those who have travelled from Uxbridge Football Club for our thirteenth home league game in this new division. We hope you enjoy your day, our facilities and hospitality, and have a safe journey home. It’s also a relief to see today’s game on, following last Saturday’s postponement against Ashford Town, and the pitch has not been played on since the reserves had a creditable 4-1 victory over Aldershot Reserves last Tuesday week, including a full-match run-out for Aaron Watson. He knocked in a couple of early goals at Chalfont St Peter on Tuesday night, but the home team came back strongly in the second half to earn a deserved point. Our visitors today finished last season in 15th place in the Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 East, and were moved across to this new South Central Division following the restructuring of Step 4 at the end of 2017-18. Their recent form is patchy, having won only one of their last ten games, although they did put five past struggling Molesey in their last away game on 19 January. They currently sit mid-table, in 14th place. The Westfield lads continue to hold their own at this new level, and sit in the place-off places (on goal-difference of +14, which could be a factor later in the season). Six wins and two draws in the last ten games, only two defeats (both away vs Hayes & Yeading and Bracknell Town) since that game against Ashford in October, and it’s all looking very positive for Tony Reid’s men. Two away games at Ware and FC Romania next, so hoping to keep that momentum going before our next home game vs Hayes & Yeading (!) on Saturday March 2nd. Enjoy the game.
