Wankas Leave Door Open...

Wankas FC remain atop an uneven and inconsistent league table after drawing 2-2 with Hoosier Daddy on Sunday. Once again the Wankas were the better side for long periods, but also lacked the attacking sharpness to kill the game off. And that allowed HD to grab a late equalizer.

Wankas started out well enough, with some good passing creating space on the field. Clear opportunities were at a minimum, though, and free kicks were creating the majority of chances. A rare counter-attack from HD saw an optimistic ball played into the box. Unfortunately, this effort would find the back of the net as an errant touch from Troy Divis saw the ball trickle just beyond stand-in goalie Jeff Schroeder. 1-0 to HD without having taken a shot. The Wankas responded in fine fashion, though, and began to attack along the wings. Consistently spreading the HD back line thin, Matt Kluth played a defense-splitting ball into the feet of Ross Kenyon, returning from several weeks away from action. Ross looked as though he's been playing the whole time, though, as he neatly collected Matt's pass and sped beyond his defender before slotting nicely to the far post. 1-1 at the break.

WFC continued where they left off after the break and appeared to have the quality to take control completely. Unfortunately, several opportunities in and around the box couldn't get turned home. Troy Divis broke the deadlock after a throw-in deflected to his feet. Troy turned on the ball from 40 yards and hit his first-time shot high to the far post, leaving the goalie stranded. 2-1 WFC, and it looked as if they'd add to it as several more opportunities bounced around the HD area. None were converted, however, and a late breakaway by Darren Burroughs was finished strong to the far corner. 2-2 with minutes remaining, and the game-winner just wouldn't come.

Once again WFC were the more active side, but they will need to get more ruthless in front of goal if they are to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Scoring: Ross Kenyon (Matt Kluth), Troy Divis (unassisted).
