Nestling in South Leicestershire, the description ‘sleepy’ could have been invented for the town of Barwell; however, it was Kevin Wilkin’s side who received a rude awakening from hosts who took advantage of some defending that could also be described as ‘sleepy’ to earn a deserved victory.
One of the most notable events in the history of the town was a meteorite that buried itself in the Leicestershire countryside on Christmas Eve 1965, and whilst the sky didn’t fall in on the Bucks with this defeat, they came down to earth with a resounding thump following last week’s 7-0 victory.
Barwell had the game’s first goal attempt; a cross from their right was allowed to travel to the far post and left-side midfielder Deen Master steered a header on the first bounce past Brandon Hall’s left post. The feeling began to grow that the Bucks might be made to pay for not pressing home their superiority with a goal. A stoppage in play was necessary when forward Tom Cursons did little to avoid a collision with goalkeeper Hall, and from the restart, the momentum began to move away from the Bucks and towards the Canaries.
It was the lead Barwell’s attacking play hadn’t truly deserved but was perhaps a reward for their resilience during the earlier spell of Bucks pressure and barely three minutes later, they struck again. Myles’ right-wing cross took a deflection en route to Gibson, but the forward read the ball’s change of direction and found a couple of yards on two defenders to strike a searing, low first-time shot from 20 yards past Griffiths’ right hand, tucking the ball into the corner.
