The Clash Of The Top Two !!

Posted in U16 Blue News ... January 23rd, 2010

Having gone 6 weeks without a game, Saturday 23rd brought us our home game against Whitegrove Tigers, who have been going well and in second place in the league. The manager demanded a fast start to the game, and that’s exactly what the team gave us. Five minutes gone and Matt Emmett smashes a 20 yard volley past the keeper, giving him no chance, and as the supporters are still celebrating, up steps the lighting quick Jonti Merry, to finish off a wonderful team move. 2 – 0 up and eight minutes played. Whitegrove grab a goal mid way through the half, only for Ben Orme to steer the ball into the net after showing great strength to hold the defender off. Half time and we’re up 3 – 1.

The second half saw Whitegrove completely passed off the park, and we add a fourth goal when the collosus (Tom Bullion) rises like a salmon at the far post to head home a corner.

We stay top with a comfortable 4 – 1 win, which could have been more, had it not been for Whitegrove’s man of the match – the keeper !!

Every member of the team gave an eight out of ten performance, and should be very proud of their display today !!! Absolutely superb !!
