2007/2008 - Under 10s Match Reports

A home match this week to try and build upon our recent good form. Bluntisham started the game well, using the wind to their advantage and keeping us under pressure. We held out well at the back, with Matt and Joe tracking their players well and Lewis making a couple of excellent saves. However, we were starting to get overrun in midfield and it was only a matter of time before they scored. We were unlucky with the goal though - Joe glancing a header into his own net.

We came back well, with Jamie, James and Grace starting to put some tackles in in midfield, which created chances for Jon and Jordan. Unfortunately, we went 2 goals down as we couldn't get the ball clear from our penalty area. We pushed forward and Jon scored a great goal following a weaving run into the area. We were on top at this stage and Grace brought us level after the ball rattled around near their goal line.

All looked good but again we couldn't get the ball clear from our area, and Bluntisham going 3-2 up. We didn't give up though and got another equaliser from Jon at the far post. We looked at that stage as though we could go on to win the game, but somehow managed to let Bluntisham score a fourth goal to win the game.

We did so well to come back from 2-0 down and 3-2 down, but unfortunately couldn't quite convert our other chances. Jon was man of the match this week due to his tireless running at the Bluntisham defence and his 2 goals.
