a busy weekend, with the single team boys having 2 matches vs Hunslet & Tingley Athletic, with the double-team boys away at Rothwell Juniors.
The single team boys had a difficult match against a Hunslet team with some additional players from the home match a few weeks back. Despite going ahead via a corner from Connor, some fantastic finishes saw Hunslet go 3-1 ahead before another goal from a corner from Cameron leaving the score 2-3 at half time. Unfortunately, a school trip to scarborough the previous week saw some of the boys run out of steam in the second half, mixed with a couple of great goals from Hunslet. Finale score 6-2 to Hunslet. The friendly team drew 2-2 with Hunslet, with Luca impressing in midfield and scoring a great goal.

On sunday, they were away to Tingley Athletic. We focussed on improving the defending for this match and it paid off. Despite going 1-2 down early on, the boys fought well, defending far better than the previous match and deservedly won 2-1 with 2 goals from Harry, the second goal a fantastic individual effort. The friendly team also won 3-1.

the double-team boys lost the first match 4-0. See below for report from 2nd match:
Rothwell Juniors vs. Rothwell Town
Result: 2 - 2
Derby day! With lots of the boys missing training last week, we didn’t have time to work on some problem areas from the week before. But this didn’t matter, as they were all up for the match. A very strong start and we created some good chances but no goals. 0 – 0 at half time. Some changes were made and off they went again in search of goals. Finlay collected the ball, checked the wind speed and then let fly with a mighty kick, one bounce, the keeper fumbled and one nil, great celebration as Finlay almost completes a lap of honour. Then they equalise with a spectacular effort right into the top corner. With 7 minutes remaining it was end to end stuff, on comes Spencer he was put through with some great passes, bang! 2 – 1. With only minutes remaining a mix up at the back let them in to level and the match ended at 2 – 2. What a game and once again great team performance with everybody putting in 100%. See you on Thursday.
MOM - Finlay
