Wick left stunned after Filton score four in first half

DESPITE the lack of rain, the straw-coloured pitch at Oldbury Lane was in great condition for Wick's game against Filton Athletic.

- 

After eight minutes, Wick lost the ball in midfield and Filton took advantage with a sweeping move that found Kieron Cooper to fire past Kai Wilson for 1-0.

On 31 minutes, Wick gifted the ball to Trey Merrett, who broke unopposed to drill the ball home for Filton’s second.

Four minutes later, a deep cross from the Filton right was not dealt with by the Wick defence and Wilson made a brilliant save from a header but the ball fell to Dylan Quick, who smashed home Filton’s third.

Worse was to come for the hosts when Merrett scored a 30-yard screamer from the left into the top corner.
