Match Report
U11B Team
Result: 3-0 W
We were slightly depleted this afternoon, Edward B had been called up to the A team and three others were absent, so we were very grateful to Beau and Edward R who stepped up from the Under 9s to enable us to keep the fixture on. We dominated the first half and made the pressure tell with two well-taken goals in quick succession from Edward R. We spread the play well at times, with Noah holding his position carefully out wide. Beau was a dynamo in midfield and linked play nicely with Ellis on the left who fired numerous howitzers around the pitch. The second half was a different story as Ranby threw people forward. It was mainly down to the solid defensive pairing of Edmund and Callan that we did not concede as they timed their interceptions brilliantly. Edward J had a quiet game in goal but kept his concentration well when he was called upon. In the last few minutes Ellis squeezed a third goal between keeper and post, which was probably a little harsh on their goalie as he had had a fine game.
