The Royston based side have lost everyone of their five league games and only scored one solitary goal against 2nd from bottom Elizabeth Allen Old Boys 'A' who beat them by 4-1 on the 18th September. In the game after this one on the 25th September they were thrashed 15-0 by the team 3rd from bottom Buntingford Wanderers Reserves. They have also been on the end of a 9-0 defeat by table toppers Mangove Reserves. Results have improved over the last few weeks with a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Braughing Res in the Hertfordshire Junior Trophy and a 0-3 loss against Ware Lions Old Boys in the league.
This weekend Westwell will be hoping to give a good account of themselves as they make the short trip to face unbeaten Premier Division leaders Baldock Cannon in the Centenary Cup. Will it be a cricket score or will Westwell spring a surprise???
