Following a disappointing loss to Guildford last weekend Wycombe Men’s first XI travelled to Staines and got back on track with a 3-2 win.
Fortunately Wycombe did not repeat last week’s insipid display and were on the front foot early, dominating possession.
A patient move led to Stephen Sloan eventually receiving the ball and scoring with a composed low finish once he had rounded the keeper.
Wycombe then had to withstand Staines pressure; Sam Burroughs denying a goal-bound drag flick off the post.
However, Staines soon equalised; a highly contentious penalty flick award led to the scores being 1-1. Wycombe followed their game plan and displayed great composure with Sloan duly converting a penalty flick to make it 1-2 heading into half-time.
Wycombe started the second half much like the first and were rewarded for their pressure. Needham received the ball at the top of the D and struck a reverse stick shot low into the corner to make it 1-3.
Staines ‘second goal came from a penalty flick and although they looked for an equaliser, Wycombe displayed excellent game management to hold on.
