A hot day and a squad reduced to just 11 players due to injuries and other commitments.
A few changes to way we do things complimented by the continued ethos of playing football saw Nidd start strongly in what proved to be an evenly contested first half which finished very positively with a far post header by Philipps from Plant's in-swinging corner, 1 - nil.
In the second half debutant Luke Hodgson linked well with midfield creating attaching opportunities down both flanks. Nidd began to press and peppered the goal with shots from Plant, Beeley and Hodgson.
The defence was well marshalled and kept Wetherby at bay but they remained a threat and with only minutes to go hit the right hand post from a long range strike. Sowray kept calm, a good performance and his resulting goal kick saw the match draw to a close.
A hard working, well disciplined performance with flashes of quick passing play through the lines.
The day was polished off with the usual hospitality from Wetherby, chips, drinks and a friendly atmosphere in the club house.
Team: Sowray, Walmsley, Webster (c), Dougal, Beeley, Palmer, Owens, Plant, Philips, Kadic,
