Haig FC put on a masterclass in attacking football to secure an excellent 5-1 win over Poringland Wanderers Reserves (PWR).

 

PWR are a league above Haig but that certainly didn’t show as Haig’s direct passing football cut through PWR’s defence with ease at times. Goals came from Trollope, Mark Linden-Ball, Glen Thurston, Lawrence and Matt Reynolds.
