2007/2008 - Under 10s Match Reports

And so to our "grudge" match with Little Paxton hoping to get their revenge on us for knocking them out of the cup earlier this season.

A horrible cold wet day didn't dampen our enthusiasm. Matt was captain today and won the toss. We kicked off and immediately started to pass the ball about. James and Jordan were playing well up front, ably supported by strong runs from Jon, Joe, Jamie and Grace. And at the back Matt and Seb were standing up well to the opposing strikers. When Little Paxton did get through, Lewis made some superb saves.

We had to soak up a lot of pressure, but we never gave up and always put pressure on the player with the ball. And when we had the ball, we supported well although our final pass wasn't always quite right and so we didn't have too many chances. Both Paxton goals came after Lewis made fine saves to deny the first shot, but the Paxton players got to the rebounds quicker than us.

A really good performance this week though against a very good Little Paxton side. I was particularly impressed with the way we controlled the ball and then looked up for someone to pass to - let's hope it continues!

James was man of the match this week - his best performance of the season to date.
