Last weekend the boys travelled to Riverside Juniors on a cold and wet morning. The boys started slowly and found themselves behind after a deflected shot found the back of the net. That’s how it stayed until HT.
After a jee up at HT the boys played the football I knew they could. It didn’t take long to find an equaliser when Dan sent over an inch perfect cross which found Krystian who managed to beat the keeper. Soon after another great cross from Dan found James at the back stick for a simple tap in.
We were now in our stride and added a third through Nathan. Straight from kick off Riverside created a good opportunity but Carter made a great save to keep our lead at 2 goals. This spurred the lads on and James added a 4th.
Pep made changes and was rewarded instantly when Evan scored with a nice side foot finish across the keeper to make it 5. The scoring was rounded off when Brandon smashed a shot into the top corner. FT 1-6 and we march on.
Development game was controlled and we created numerous chances. FT 3-0 goals from Riley, Nathan and Evan.
On another positive note the team was complimented by a Leeds United scout on how we played football, gives me so much pride in the work these boys have put in over the past 18 months.
