Whitchurch U’ 10’s versus Fry’s Club U’ 10’s

Sunday 10th February 2008

Game A

Whitchurch started the quicker and had the better chances. Fry’s gradually got into the match and the game became evenly balanced with chances going at each end. Whitchurch broke away and scored. The second half saw a shot on the turn by Lewis go just wide. Fry’s deserved to get an equaliser when a good passing move was kicked out for a corner, a succession of corner’s followed but Fry’s could not turn them into Goals, a downward header by one of our forwards was saved by their keeper and straight after a great run by Matt seen the ball bobble across an empty net. Try as we could we could not score the goal we deserved and the final score was 1-0.

M-o-M – Calum

Game B

Fry’s had an early scare as Whitchurch again started the quicker and saw a Whitchurch player shoot just wide when it would have been easier to score. Oliver was soon in action smothering a shot at the near post and saved straight after when a shot was destined to burst the net. Fry’s immediately fought back and Jack pulled the ball back from the by-line for Ryan to poke the ball into the Whitchurch net. Oliver pulled off another fine save to deny them an equaliser. Whitchurch scored a brilliant header from a corner then scored two more quickly to make the score 3-1 at half-time.

Luke got into a shooting position and made no mistake to pull a goal back right after the re-start. Within minutes Whitchurch scored again. Not to be denied, the players showed what they were made of and jack scored a free kick that David James could not have saved and seconds later a brilliant display of goal keeping from the Whitchurch ‘keeper denied Jack an equaliser. After a defensive mix-up, Whitchurch took advantage and scored a fifth. Holly tackled well in midfield and passed the ball forward resulting in a Fry’s goal making the score 4-5. After some good forward play Fry’s scored a fifth to make the final score 5 a-piece. An exciting game for all spectators to watch.
