U10s First 11 a side match v East Hoathly February 3, 2008
Posted by editor in : Uncategorized , trackbackWe arranged a friendly away to East Hoathly and decided to go for an 11 a side game to see how we got on playing on a full size pitch with 11 not 7 in the team. it was also a great opportunity to bring all the players together in one team.
On a cold wet day, the team played very well and above all expectations. They held their positions well and combined as a team to produce an impressive display. I would say that each and every player had a great game and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. When we saw that we were playing on a full size pitch with full size goals it was a bit of a shock!
The team battled well on a heavy pitch and it was an even game throughout. We played four quarters to allow time for a breather,drink and to change players. It was still nil nil at half time with everything to play for.
We started to create more chances and hit the post/bar on several occassions before Joshua put us one nil up.
The defence held firm, ably marshalled by the outstanding Jack P who one just about every tackle he made and produced another man of the match performance. Scott in goal made some important saves and the defence of Max, Lilly,Connor,Matthew,Jack and Scott were all superb. The midfield worked very hard with Tom driving us forward from centre midfield, with Jack K, Jonathan, Callum and Joshua all turning in fine performances. Jordi and Harry led the attack.
East Hoathly equalised late on, but we kept our shape and momentum. As the clock ticked down, there were chances for both teams. However, a superb strike from Jack K gave us the edge and a thoroughly deserved win.
Well done to all the squad.
Man of the match: Jack P
Scorers: Joshua,Jack K.
