2007/2008 - Under 10s Match Reports

We were challenged to a friendly match today by a good Priory Parkside T team. They were in the C division and had started the season off very well.

Jordan was captain today and led the team to the halfway line in what looked like the first Haka of the season!

We were a little slow starting this week - we weren't marking our plays and so Priory took a deserved lead within the first few minutes. This seemed to wake us up and Jordan, Grace and Jon played some great passing football to get us a chance for Jordan at the other end. We had a few corners that resulted in shots on goal before the ball rolled to Jamie outside the penalty area - Jamie hit a screamer into the roof of the net for a fantastic goal. Although Priory continued to push forward, Seb and Matt were keeping the ball away from Lewis' goal and our midfield of Joe, Jamie, Jon and Grace were starting to run the game. Again we had a short corner which made its way to Seb to dummy with his left foot and slot the ball home with his right.

The second half was very good. The whole team creating chances for each other. Jon got our third and then Grace demonstrated her return to form with a run down the pitch and a powerful shot into the far corner of the goal. Seb went in goal to allow Lewis some time on the pitch, and Lewis scored his first of the season from a penalty.

A really good performance this week by everyone (after the first few minutes). It was great to see everyone making runs for each other, shouting for the ball, and creating a lot of chances. Man of the match this week went to Jamie for his all-round play in the centre of midfield and for his fantastic goal.
