WBHS nets 3-1 victory in final
Westville Boys' High School secured a 3-1 win against Kearsney College at the end of the soccer season.
LAST Saturday saw the final home game of Westville Boy’s High School’s soccer season against Kearsney College.
WBHS went into the game as favourites and after eight minutes took the lead when Jacques Bleeker pivoted on a ball with his left foot and buried the ball into the bottom corner of the net. WBHS continued to have the lion’s share of possession throughout most of the first half and most of the territory, but lacked the killer punch. They would live to regret this when, just before halftime, Kearsney scored an equalizer, in one of their rare incursions into the home side’s goal area.
The lesson seemed to have been learnt by the home team because the second half saw them go on the offensive with renewed vigour and more intensity. They were rewarded soon after the break when Kyan Braithwaite scored after some great play between himself and Jason Oakes. Further pressure led to a number of opportunities and near misses.
In the final five minutes of the game WBHS put the game beyond Kearsney with a strike from outside the box by Mohammed Patel.
The 3-1 win was a great way to finish the home season.
