West Dids Down Ravens

A clinical performance from title-chasing West Didsbury & Chorlton saw them secure a 1-3 victory at The Bowl on Saturday.

Victory took West Dids top of the NWCFL Premier Division, with the Ravens in 21st, five points above the drop zone. 

The visitors established control in the first half with two quick-fire goals from Jack Banister. 

He opened the scoring after 16 minutes, sweeping a low effort into the bottom corner after a sweeping team move

Just over five minutes later, Banister doubled the lead, spotting goalkeeper Mark Blair off his line and executing a calm lob from distance.

Despite a brighter start from the Ravens, who hit the post early on, they struggled to create many clear openings for much of the game against a comfortable West Didsbury side

The Ravens did find a late lifeline in the 86th minute when substitute Luke Booth arrowed a crisp half-volley into the far corner.

Any hopes of a dramatic comeback were extinguished in added time however, as Jordan Lazenbury slotted home from close range to seal the three points for West Dids.
