U11’s Work Hard For Victory

Purley Jubilee 1-0 Maidenhead Crusaders

Purley came up against a Maidenhead side that had improved dramatically since the start of the season. In very difficult windy and cold conditions, Purley still tried to play the passing game which had proved so successful this season, however very limited chances for both sides resulted in both teams going into half time level at 0-0.

Purley started the second half very brightly and a great run from Jack Dale resulted in him being fouled on the edge of the box. Rhys Warren stepped up and curled the freekick into the roof of the net , just out of the despairing clutches of the Maidenhead Keeper.

Maidenhead then piled on the pressure, but the Purley defence of Jacob Crossley, Tom Hopes and goalkeeper George Baker stood firm and we held on for a very hard fought but deserved win.

Tom Hopes won the Fair Play Award for Purley.
