Blues quality shines through !

Posted in U16 Blue News ... February 22nd, 2010

Saturday we entertained the impressive Woodley Kestrels, the team that had beaten us 2 – 1 on the opening day of the season. In a tight first half that saw a fierce Kestrels drive from 20 yards hit the bar, and at least five good oppotunities from us well saved by their keeper, it was 0 – 0 at half time. I made two changes in the interval, bringing on Pierce Sturgess and giving a debut to our new signing, Lewis Careless. What a second half display !! Every player was absolutely superb, we were passing the ball with supreme confidence and 15 minutes in, after another fantastic build up, Jonti receives the ball with his back to goal 18 yards out, turns, and simply passes the ball at pace around the stranded keeper. 1 – 0. The best was yet to come, as 25 minutes into the second half, and with the ball coming to him at waist height, Jamie Pittman swivels on his left and strikes the sweetest right foot volley from 20 yards into the top corner – keeper, NO CHANCE !!. We win 2 – 0 and George in goal has one shot to save – what an outstanding performance. This team just gets better and better !!
