Henbury Colts U13 (3) v Fry Club Colts U13 (1)

 

02/04/06

 

It was a very blustery day for this game against the top of the table team, Henbury Colts.

 

From the kick off it could be seen this would be a hard game as Henbury had put three big lads in midfield to try and stop the Fry’s attack.

 

The game was rather non eventful with both teams snuffing out each others attacks until the 26^th minute when a ball thumped out towards the corner flag by Justin Skinner in mid field, which looked like it was going out, was chased down by Dan Buley, who crossed it into the waiting Ryan Ellett who side footed in to make it 1-0.

 

Just before half time Fry’s came close again when Dan Buley hit a shot from the edge of the box which was palmed onto the bar by the Henbury keeper but there was nobody there for Fry’s to meet the rebound.

 

Henbury equalise straight from the kick off of the second half which seems to knock the stuffing out of the Fry’s lads.

 

Henbury take the lead and go 2-1 up when they scramble in a goal after a strong challenge on the Fry’s keeper, Tom Ashley.

 

A third goal comes 2 minutes later with a good shot from the Henbury striker on the edge of the area.

 

The wind was definitely affecting the game and with Fry’s laying into it in this half it just proved too much for them and they were unable to capitalise on the few chances they had.   

 

The game ended 3-1 and it has to be said the better team on the day came away victors. Never mind lads, you gave it your all, and that’s all that can be asked of you.
