U10/11A v Hilden Oaks:
A very good way to start the season with a 5-3 home win against Hilden Oaks. We saw amazing defensive play by Oscar and Kit and fantastic wing play by Noah and Freddie. Around two minutes in, Sammy tapped in a brilliant team goal, only to score twice again! With 5 minutes left, I scored an unlucky own goal. In the second half, Noah scored a brilliant goal and I scored a goal driven into the bottom corner. It was an amazing performance by all the team. My player of the match was Sammy, as he got into brilliant positions and his crossing and finishing was brilliant.
U10/11B v Hilden Oaks:
Today we played Hilden Oaks School and the score was 3 - 2 to them. We were 3 - 1 down at half-time and then scored late in the second half to make it 3 - 2. Theo did some good goalkeeping. Rory and Arty did some good defending and attacking. Edward did some good passing and battling and Henry some good attacking and passing. Player of the match was Zachary and there was some very good football from both sides. Zachary
U9 v Bickley Park:
It was a close match, but luckily we won 3 - 2 . To start, I won the coin flip and chose to kick off first. In the first half it looked like Bickley had already won because Bickley were dominating the game. We were really unlucky because we accidentally gave away a penalty and I almost got my hand to it. But then Euan scored an equaliser. In the second half, we definitely seemed a lot stronger. Then Euan scored 2 goals in two minutes. Surprisingly, Bickley got in to our box and then got loads of shots. They only scored one but I saved the rest. The whole team played really well. Theo
U8 v Bickley Park:
It was a tough game, but everyone tried really hard. Beau ran really well with the ball, and Jasper did well when defending so he should be player of the match. Milo was good in goal and made a great save at the end of the match. It was great to have Arthur and Kit on the team and they both made good tackles. The match ended 4-0 and we are all looking forward to playing at home next week. Leo
