The team showed a couple changes from Saturday - Stewart Williams was replaced in goal by Ashley Woodhouse and Steve Brack made way for Latvian Tom as GNE went with 2 up top (we do need to agree on a name for Tom/Archie/etc).
Tom didn't last long as he hobbled off mid way through the 1st half and was replaced by Danny Jones. It didn't take Jonesy long to make an impact as he smashed home a volley to put GNE 1 up (expertly set up by a completely mis-directed header from GK).
The 2nd half was tight and Wigans direct football put a lot of pressure on the back 4 but they held out - although it would have been good if we hadn't given away so many free kicks in our own half.
Disappointingly, in the last minute Danny Jones got himself sent off after rounding the keeper and rolling the ball into the empty net - the ref had blown for handball and gave him his 2nd yellow for time wasting!
Prize money was £750, every little helps!
