FRY CLUB COLTS 1
On an extremely hot and sunny afternoon, we started
our U’13 league season at home on pitch 4 in the paddock on a perfect playing
surface against a team we had competed against very closely last season.
Despite very early pressure from the opposition, we were
awarded a free kick in the first 10 minutes on the edge of their penalty box
and James Boulton took a superb free kick to give us
a 1-0 lead and a great start.
St Vallier responded and
although we enjoyed our share of the possession, we conceded 3 goals to go into
half time 3-1 down.
We created a further 2 openings early in the second half
but suffered from 4 further goals to lose, in the end, a very disappointing game.
The overall feeling was that we could have played better with some of the players suffering from the heat. Kyle Curtis slotted into the back four as sweeper very effectively and Jordan Knight had a good game in midfield. A great goal and performance was given by James Boulton but The Man of the Match was awarded to Oliver Randall for his tireless work in the centre of midfield.
