Kartiers FC 1-2 Wigginton Grasshoppers Kartiers FC slumped to their first defeat of the season against an ordinary Wigginton side who took full advantage of finding a Kartiers side who had clearly left their shooting boots at home. Most observers would agree that if Kartiers had converted just half of their chances we would be reporting on perhaps one of the biggest victories in the club's history! However, credit to Wigginton who hung in and snatched the points at the death with their only shot on goal in the second half. Wigginton started the brighter and almost took the lead on ten minutes when a long ball caught the Kartiers defence napping but keeper Osborne came to the rescue with a stunning save. The swirling wind was clearly causing the Kartiers defence problems and they struggled to come to terms with the conditions whilst the visitors appeared composed in possession and dominated the early exchanges. Kartiers slowly moved into gear, prompted by some energetic probing by James Barrett, but were denied an opening goal when Richardson headed down for Tweedie to convert only to be thwarted by the referee who was the only person in the ground who saw an infringement in the lead up to the goal. Glen Littlewood fired over from twelve yards out and then Jon James struck the post after good work by Tweedie who himself missed a stack of chances when clear through on goal. Kartiers did take the lead on the half hour when a flowing move from inside their own half culminated in a pinpoint through ball by Jon James into the path of Tweedie. Tweedie burst clear and went around the Wigginton keeper but in doing so was forced wide, his ball across the face of goal was blocked by a Wigginton defender but Tweedie himself was on hand to bury the ball home from what appeared to be an impossible angle. Kartiers then proceeded to dominate the remainder of the half and should have put the game beyond the visitors and the sight of the Kartiers management holding their heads in disbelief at the number of missed chances was the image of the half. The Selby side were made to pay for the missed chances with almost the last kick of the first half when Barrett was dispossessed in his own half and Wigginton equalised with a wind assisted chip from twenty five yards out. Wigginton were clearly the more cultured side and were excellent in possession but for all their confident approach play they barely threatened the Kartiers goal. Kartiers on the other hand were more direct and Tweedie continued to torment the Wigginton defence with his pace but Kartiers leading scoring had a frustrating afternoon in front of goal. Kartiers had good claims for a penalty turned down when Stephenson appeared to be tripped inside the box and Braithwaite incredulously took the ball off Woodall's foot and lobbed over from twenty yards with Woodall clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat which just about summed Kartiers afternoon up. Wigginton took full advantage of their good fortune and with five minutes remaining a shot from distance was palmed out by Osborne only for the ball to fall to the feet of a Wigginton player who stroked the ball home. Kartiers still had chances to equalise with Danny Hewitt volleying over from inside the six yard box when it appeared easier to score after good work by Braithwaite but Wigginton hung on and claimed all three points. After the game Manager Ian Jennings was clearly disappointed with the result and commented 'Its a long time since we lost a game and it hurts, what worries me is that I looked at one or two players after the game and it didn't appear to hurt them as much as I think it should do.'
