Game 26: Salisbury City 2.1 VTFC 06.02.07 (Friendly)



With the lack of regular reserve team games, this game was arranged at short notice to assist with Tommy Widdrington's recovery from a dislocated knee.



Both teams fielded a mix of first team and reserve team players. On the VTFC team I recognised ex-White Tyronne Bowers and former Eastleigh player Ryan Ashford while Salisbury's team included Declan McGregor, Simon Browne, Alex Haddow and Matt Holmes.



Salisbury opened the scoring with a Nick Eastham header but VTFC broke down the right side and the ball broke to Bowers to slot in a shot from close range into an empty net. Tommy was replaced with a trialist after 40 minutes, looking a bit tired but none the worse for wear.



Alex Haddow scored with a tremendous volley from outside the area to make it 2.1 just before halftime. The second half was a disjointed affair and neither team really did much in front of goal so the score remained 2.1 at full time.
