Surridge County League
Henbury 3
Ellwood 1
ELLWOOD manager Chris Addis said he was disappointed with the result against Henbury, but not the performance. "We're not playing badly, but in the County League you have to battle for your points," he said.
"We're playing some good football, but not getting much to show for it. All we really need is a win."
The game turned on a key refereeing decision early in the second-half.
A Henbury defender handled the ball to stop a Mike Nelson shot, but the referee waved play on.
Henbury broke down the other end to grab their second goal.
Addis said: "Their players admitted it should have been a penalty after the game and the referee also apologised for getting it wrong. Decisions like that can change games."
Henbury scored a third, but Mike Nelson pulled one back with a header from a corner.
Ellwood: Martin Lawrence, Ryan Pendrey, Chris Addis, Chris Stock, Alex Brown, Julian Addis, Justin Hayward, Kerry Hale, Gary Wildin, Mike Nelson, Derek Roberts. Sub: Dave Childs.
