U11 CCCFC 1 v 1 Warminster Red (2-4 pens) |
Season 11/12 - Under 11 |
What a game today at home to Warminster. The colts put in a performance of commitment, passion & energy not seen before this season. Due to a bout of illness and unavailability within the squad, we only had 10 players to face the league leaders in the cup. A big thank you must go to Warminster who agreed to play the match as 10 v 10. The colts got off to a great start when James latched onto a weak goal kick and calmly slotted the ball past the keeper after 10mins, Warminster got an equaliser on 20mins when they scored from an acute angle. The second half was a tense affair with the game going end to end, The defence of Josh G, Alex, Heather & Warwick tackled like trojans and were putting their bodies in the way of every shot, both Josh G and Heather making terrific goal line clearances, at the other end Harry, Jamie, Charlie & Eddie had half chances to nick the winning goal. James in midfield covered every blade of grass and tackled anything that moved and was brilliantly supported by Eddie in the unfamiliar position of central midfield. 1-1 at full time. In extra time it was more of the same by everyone, Jasper was making save after save and had a great game. No more goals were forthcoming, onto the dreaded penalties. Jasper managed to save one of the Warminster penalties, but alas it wasn't quite enough, James and Charlie both scored from the spot. A terrific performance by everyone, buoyed on by fantastic support from the parents. Well done and thank you. Man of the match - All 10 of you !!!!! Next game - Worton (away) Sat 10th Dec TBC |
