Brockham Badgers U11A exacted revenge on Bookham Colts for the defeat they inflicted two weeks ago. Brockham looked a totally different side, in control for most of the match despite going behind early on when a shot from distance slid under the Badgers keeper.
Brockham were back on level terms when Callum Holder scored his fourth of the league campaign, and then got themselves a deserved second when Ed Russ placed a powerful curling shot over the keeper from distance.
The Badgers were excellent in possession and equally organised without the ball. The home team’s inability to break them down was frustrating them and committing players forward in an attempt to find a way through the Brockham lines. This left them exposed at the back, so when the ball was won by the black and whites in midfield and fed wide quickly, the space was exploited by man of the match Sam Church lurking on the edge of the area, smashing Brockham’s third into the Colts net and giving the keeper no chance.
George Wryde could have scored twice, which would have been just rewards for his excellent work up front after replacing Holder. Russ then added a fourth for the visiting Badgers of similar style and composure to that of his first to polish off a very satisfying performance.
Man of the Match: Sam Church
