SCORES ON THE DOORS!
Under 10 Archers
Started of a cagey affair against a very well organised team and it took us 12 minutes to break the deadlock after a great cross from josh was met by Jack and headed into the far top corner, great header. A scrappy game saw most of it being played in the middle of the park and when we did break through the opp goalie pulled of some fine saves. Just before half time though, josh had a long range effort that nestled into the far corner. At the other end Joseph, Stan and Jake were alert to any danger and Alex when called upon pulled off a number of good saves.
Second half saw us press higher up the pitch, Jake Stan and Joseph were doing there bit at the back and supporting the attack at every opportunity, the energy and desire shown by Josh, Tom, Fin and James in midfield working hard to retrieve the ball and using wisely in possession gave us the upper hand. Midway through the second half saw two goals from James, one excellent team goal as we turned defence into attack and countered quickly, the other a fine solo effort picking the ball up on the left and going round 3 players before drilling home from a tight angle.
With the defence holding firm Alex had little to do but when called upon made two goods saves. Still time to push forward with both Tom and Fin being denied by excellent saves from opp keeper the breakthrough came 5 mins from time as James picked the ball up from Alex at left back, switched play to fin on the right wing who slotted inside to Tom who played the perfect weighted pass into Jacks path. Still with it all to do jack went round one man and cooley slotted into the bottom corner from close range sending the keeper the wrong way
Solid team performance again, the lads are really impressing so far this year, an excellent performance from every single player, goals from Jack, James and Josh, MOM Josh Howard
