A chilly morning and a bit of a trek saw the U11 boys playing their game at Kirkby Malzeard.
The game started with a positive attack from Scotton. This attack was quickly cleared by KM. Again Scotton attacked with Alfie sprinting down the wing, this was well defended and went out for a corner. Alfie took the corner that Jamie headed to make a shot on goal. Unfortunately it was well cleared and headed off the down the pitch for a counter attack by KM. Lorcan won a free kick which he took as a shot on goal, the KM goalie did well to save Lorcan’s shot. Jamie picked up the ball and took another shot on goal to score. Jamie and Alfie pressed forward again which at the last minute was well defended by KM. From a corner Seb whipped in a dangerous pass to Jamie that the visitors managed to clear at the last minute. A counter attack by KM enabled Alex to tackle and win the ball going forward for an attack on goal, the goalie came out to meet him and unfortunately Alex was unable to sneak the ball round him.
Yet another attack by Scotton saw Lorcan head down towards goal which with a tough tackle was cleared for a corner. Again Alfie went to the corner flag, the ball ended with Alex who showed some amazing footwork to have an impressive shot on goal, again the ball wouldn’t go in the net and the counter attack lead to Jack having to make his first real save of the game. The final shot of the half saw Jamie having a shot on goal which was impressively saved.
