2007/2008 - Under 10s Match Reports

A great opportunity this week to play against a top team (near the top of Division A) to check how good we are. Also good to practise for our game next week with Little Paxton.

Seb was away this week and so Joe played in defence as well as captaining the side. Priory showed what a good side they are by passing the ball well and creating chances, but Lewis was equally good at saving their shots. We even found time to go forward ourselves, Jordan and James both having good shots saved by the Priory keeper, and Jamie and Grace hitting just wide. It was from one of our attacks that Priory broke forward and outnumbered us at the back, their free forward scoring in the corner. We kept it at 1-0 until half-time thanks to some great defending by Matt and Joe, and some hard work from Jamie, Jon and Grace.

Priory kept coming at us in the second half and created a lot of chances, getting an early second goal. However, we kept going and kept fighting for the ball. We also created a few chances but our shots weren't quite in the right place. James agreed to go in goal for the last few minutes so that Lewis could have a run around the pitch. James made a couple of fine saves, and only let in 2 further goals - both well worked by the Priory team.

Even though we lost this game, we should all feel proud that we played well and never gave up. A much-improved performance from last week - let's hope we can continue to improve.

Man of the match this week was Joe - he continued to tackle right to the end (even though he didn't really want to play in defence!).

Well done everyone!
