AVON YOUTH LEAGUE U’13 DIV 3

 

SUN 19 SEPT 04

 

FRY CLUB COLTS           2

HIGHRIDGE UTD           5

 

 

On another fine afternoon with a stiff breeze blowing across the pitch, we entertained Highridge in the paddock hoping to avenge the 2 defeats we suffered last season.

 

We welcomed back James Hurrell Smith in the team following his injury. During the first half, we enjoyed the perfect start, taking a deserved 2-0 lead through Oli Boon, his first goal for Frys, and Mo Bouaziz. Highridge had no answer and we were unlucky not to increase our lead before the half time whistle.

 

The second half started with continued pressure from Frys but without adding to our score. Midway through the second half Highridge broke away down the left and scored through a wind assisted shot. This one goal proved the catalyst for Highridge as they were able to score a further 4 goals in 15 minutes to somehow turn the game around in their favour.

 

A bitterly disappointing end to a game that we really should have won comfortably. Lessons to be learnt by ensuring we protect whatever lead we build up.

 

The Man of the Match award was deservedly won for the send week running by Mo Bouaziz.
