Match report	Spring had certainly arrived for our first game in March and it was great to have a game in lovely warm, sunny conditions after all the wet, cold weather over the winter. Fulford did all the attacking during the first half, but couldn't create any clear cut chances against a determined Wigginton defence. It was a similar story in the second half, but Wigginton were more of an attacking threat, with Jack needed to make some important tackles and interceptions and Harle was called on to save a long range shot. There were some good performances from Fulford's wide midfielders, with Sam and Sedar both linking well with their team-mates and tracking back to defend when required. Wigginton's defence was probably the best we've faced all season and for this alone they probably deserved a draw, but in the penultimate minute of the game, Paul won the ball just inside his own half. He passed forward to Jonathan who held off the challenges of two defenders and squared the ball with perfect pace and timing to the on-rushing Paul, who burst clear of the defence to run through and slot the ball past the keeper.
