Brockham Badgers Black U11 v Kingswood Falcons U11 (South Surrey Youth league)


Brockham started the game with some crisp accurate passing that had Kingswood chasing shadows.  The team work was exceptional and the passing inch perfect.

 

Toby Evans really stood out, in what became a tough physical midfield battle.  Toby was brave in the tackle and released the ball quickly to make chances for his team mates.  He's a real team player and was instrumental in keeping the pressure on Kingswood.

 

Oliver Yeates scored the pick of the goals with a chip into the top corner.  The Kingswood keeper had a great game and made a fantastic last ditch tackle on Ezra to prevent a certain goal.  But he couldn't keep Badgers at bay.

 

Morgan slammed home a penalty.  Ezra poached one in the box and Oliver Yeates went in to the half-time huddle with a hat-trick.

 

Half-time: Brockham Badgers Black 5 Kingswood Falcons 0

 

The second half saw a spirited fight back from Kingswood early on.  And The Falcons got a deserved consolation goal.

 

Brockham continued to apply the pressure but the final ball didn't arrive quick enough as the boys all had one eye on the goal and the other on the score sheet.

 

George Lees was very accomplished in his striker role.  Kept the ball, led the line and finished superbly.  He has a great shot on him and brings others into the game.  His goal was a highlight of the second half.

 

Jack Duncan got his reward for his constant running with a cool finish.  Lucas Woolley was electric on the left and played his goal through the keeper's legs.  Oliver got his fourth in a high scoring match.

 

The Badgers did well to keep their cool in a game that saw many fouls and incidents.  They have big games coming against top quality opposition.  They will need to be at their absolute best.
