Super Sub Neilson Keeps Blues in Play Off Hunt
Two goals in three minutes from second half substitute Scott Neilson gave Ware a 2-0 victory over in form Wingate and Finchley at Wodson Park. the Blues should have been in front after a dominant first half display with Ed Thompson twice saving efforts from John Frendo. After the break though Ware rode their luck as keeper Luke Woods tipped Helman's effort over the bar before Hardy Pinto Morreira hit a post. Neilson's introduction changed the flow of the second half though and ultimately proved a masterstroke. He finished his first from close range after 79 minutes and then pulled down Paul Burton's pass three minutes later thrashing it into the top left hand corner to seal a vital win for The Blues as they chase a top five finish.
