MATCH REPORT 1 - SAT 11 FEBRUARY

Waverton Arrows 0 - 8 Blacon Youth
 
Some great players for Blacon turned this game with at least one of their goals being scored from a speculative drive from within their own half! Their number 2 especially impressed with some meandering runs from the back to the Waverton by-line - we were all disappointed that he didn't get a goal for himself. 

Good performances from within the Waverton team - Frankie especially improving in the take - and getting them in earlier as well preventing the pressure building. Freddie also made some great tackles and also some good runs - there were times when, with a little more confidence, he could have taken the ball beyond the last defender and make a chance for himself. There was some brave goalkeeping also: Guy made a great saves in the first half, Marcus and Eric in the second. The best being Eric's goal line clearance - with the help of Frankie's face..

Each of the 4 x10 minute periods contained chances for Waverton but each was lost by a score line of 2-0 (8-0 overall). Rafa came close on many occasions but failed to hit the target - this will be an area of focus going forward. Coby made a good break towards the end of the game - but it was Christopher who impressed the most - and was man of the match - with several great passages of dribbling, most notable was one which took the ball around 3 Blacon defenders and created a shooting chance - after having won the ball with a great midfield tackle.
