Sheffield Wednesday midfielder scores 'wonder goal' - but fellow Owl endures tough afternoon
There was a mixed bag of results for Sheffield Wednesday’s loanees over the weekend, with one of them scoring a ‘wonder goal’.
The Owls currently have two players away from Middlewood Road, with Denny Oliver having joined Bridlington Town earlier this month and Harry Evers heading over to Trafford FC.
Oliver joined Brid not long after his loan spell with Brighouse Town came to an end, and went straight into their XI for the game against Emley and Silsden.
The youngster has enjoyed a good start with his new club, and after helping them to a 2-2 draw on his debut, Oliver got on the scoresheet for the first time in a 2-1 win on Saturday. His strike from the halfway line has been described as a ‘wonder goal’ by manager, Scott Kerr.
He said after the game, “Denny Oliver has come in and been superb, and he’s scored a bit of a wonder goal from the halfway line… I’m over the moon for the lads, because they’ve given me everything.”
Meanwhile, things didn’t go quite so well for Evers as his side were beaten 2-1 by Stalybridge in their most recent game, although he did get another 45 minutes of senior football under his belt.
Trafford are six points adrift of safety in the Northern Premier League Division One West, and will have a tough job on their hands if they’re to avoid relegation at the end of the season.
Both players have signed loan agreements until the end of the season, and will be eager to progress in the coming weeks to put their hands up for what is set to be a big preseason at S6 for the club’s youngsters.
