SAUGHALL 5 - 3 WAVERTON BEES
A traumatic build up with George and Yazan injured, and Samuel sick meant the squad was down to the bones. Luckily George from the Wasps was able to help us out.
The boys arrived to a big frosty pitch and only 6 of them due to illness and injury. We knew that we were going to have a tough match.
Chris warmed the boys up while parents stamped on the frosty pitch. Just before kick off we lost Oliver due to illness! With only 5 players we kicked off and started off strong. Ben scored an early goal and we were dominating the game.
All the boys got stuck in and there was some great passing and defending. Unfortunately we conceded 2 goals and Henry was then taken off injured!
Down to 4 players we had a Saughall sub as our goal keeper. George then scored a great goal but despite our efforts we conceded another goal.
We borrowed another Saughall player to even the game up but despite an initial goal from our borrowed player we then conceded another 2 goals.
Despite the final score 5-3 we played well and at points dominated the game. We had some great passing especially between George and Ben. We saw some great tackling from Isaac and defending from Thomas. We almost saw a goal from Thomas as well.
Too hard to call man of the match as they all played really well despite the frosty conditions and ever depleting team! A big thank you to all parents who ended up as stand in coaches.
We were complimented by Saughall for carrying on with fixture against all the odds!
