Elm Grove Colts 4 - 1 Brockham Badgers U11A

Travelling with only eight fit players it was unlikely Brockham were going to come away with a result and so it transpired.  Playing uphill in the first half they trailed two goals to nil despite have at least four decent chances but all of which went wide or over. 

Luke Page was marshalling his defensive partners Lily Turner and Will Timmons excellent against the numeric advantage and Huw Morgan was playing out of his skin in goal.  This gave Brockham something to build on and the second half started a little brighter when they nicked one back and gave themselves a chance.  Joseph Rabbetts fed George Wryde who clipped a left footed strike past the Colts keeper. 

But then Elm Grove buried another to take their advantage to two goals again.  If things were tough up to that point they were about to get more challenging.  The mercurial Louie Darling was caught in a strong tackle and could not carry on.  The Badgers were now two men down and having to work their socks off.  Sitting deep they tried to break on the counter but it was proving very difficult.  With time running out, Elm Grove took their chances once again and notched their fourth.

Man of the Match: Huw Morgan
