MATCH REPORT BY Jason Moore

 

1st half

 

Both teams competed well in opening 10mins with the midfield dominating. Then Owen picked the ball up on the half way line and cracked a thunderbolt from 20yds which left Ellis with no chance, to make it 1-0 to the A' team. After 20 mins Kaka played in Dan Bowden who just failed to connect from inside the box. Eli hits a good shot from wide on the right that hits the side netting, Kaka breaks free in the box and has two shots which are well saved by Brandon. Frys A breakaway with Jacob putting a good through ball to Birdman but he was well tackled by Rhys just when he was going to pull the trigger. A rare mistake by Brandon nearly let in Callum when the ball went through his legs but he recovered well. A good first half that was dominated by the midfield and defence of both teams.

 

2nd half

 

An excellent turn in the box by Callum left the defence standing and he calmly slotted the ball past Brandon to make it 1-1. A shot by Dan Bowden was almost met by Callum, from the resulting goal kick Birdman finished on the half volley at the other end to make it 2-1 to A' team. A breakaway by Lewis set up Jacob who shot from an acute angle of the box which Ellis saved well. A defence splitting pass by Jacob set up Owen who hit a good shot that was well saved by Ellis but Matthew followed up the rebound to make it 3-1 to A' team. A clearance by Ryan set up Owen but he skied it over the bar due to a bad bobble! A cross by Chopper was hit by Eli on the volley which rattled the crossbar. Dan Bowden took on two players and almost bull dozed his way through the defence. A corner by Jacob was headed goal wards by Eli and Ellis saved well as he did with the rebound which he didn't know much about. The B' team then broke away and Josh found himself in the box with a nose bleed to finish well. Some good work by Eli opening a shooting opportunity which just went wide. Kaka broke into the box but was well tackled by Matthew just as he was going to let fly the shot. The game finished 3-2 to the  A' team. An excellent entertaining game which was well contested by both teams.

 

Note on referee

 

A very experienced display from the OAP but he could have made an effort with his appearance (had same clothes on as yesterday) 9.5 out of 10

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK BOTH SETS OF BOYS FOR THE WAY THEY PLAYED THE GAME AND THE WAY THE PARENTS SUPPORT BOTH SIDES. IT WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE GAME TO BE A PART OF AND SHOWED THAT THE TEAMS ARE WELL BALANCED. IT LOOKS GOOD FOR NEXT SEASON.
