Boys U15 B v St Albans |
Result: Won 5-0 |
Scorers: Sheehan x2, Blyth x2, Soomro |
Review: This was the U15Bs best game of the season, with crisp passing, good movement and excellent head-up hockey. Sheehan opened the scoring for us with a well struck hit from a short corner. St Albans defended well in the first half, holding us to a 1-0 lead at half time. However, in the second half out pressure began to tell, and our confidence on the ball grew. Roy began to distribute the ball well from the back, and Williams offered real life in the midfield. The goals were well taken - an assured lifted finish from eight yards by Soomro, Sheehan rounded the keeper before slotting home, and Blyth's two were both from short corners returned to injector (Blyth) which were put away with aplomb. The only disappointment was that a ferocious shot from 16 yards by Dom Sheehan hit the crossbar and went off into orbit. We were 2 inches from Goal of the decade. |
Star Player: MOTM goes to Blyth but a special mention goes to Angus Taylor, recently promoted from the C team who had a fantastic game at right mid. |
Boys U15 B v RHS |
Result: Won 2-1 |
Scorers: Soomro x2 |
Review: A sleepy start saw us concede two short corners early on, and the second of these was put away. The first half was a scrappy affair, with most of the play straight up the middle of a heavily congested pitch, although we did create some good chances, including a good finish from Dom Sheehan to bring the scores level. The second half was a bit more open, with Oliver Grayson linking up the play very nicely and with better use of the width, particularly from Ed Reid, Ollie Williams and Roshan Soomro. The winner was a stunning drag flick by Dom Sheehan from a short corner. |
Star Player: Grayson (for his link up work and distribution which opened up the game in the second half) |
