U16 Blues get out of Jail !

Posted in U16 Blue News ... March 6th, 2010

It’s a good job that nobody had to pay to see us against Ascot, as we were rubbish for the first 70 minutes !! Already trailing 1 – 0 at half time, and with the manager’s comments ringing in their ears, it was no surprise when we then go 2 – 0 down. Then with 10 minutes to go we start to play football, and Luke Bryant latches onto a ball from a corner and smashes the ball home, 2 – 1. Five minutes later and we are now camped in their half, and the very skilful Lewis Careless unleashes an unstopable shot from 25 yards, 2 – 2. At that stage I would have been happy to escape with a point, but credit where it’s due, the lads refused to give up, and after some great wing play in the dying seconds from Lewis, he squares the ball to Matt Emmett on the edge of the area, who beats his man and curls the ball into the top far corner. The lads go wild and celebrate a win that we truly didn’t deserve, but am happy to take.

Man Of The Match: Luke Bryant
