Under 10s growing in confidence

Today was our first game back since the Christmas break and we were playing at a very blustery Radfall.

The game started well with a lot of end to end play. We were first on the attack and Finley took a shot that was saved comfortably by the keeper. Joseph intercepted the ball well from the keeper’s kick and went on a good run, taking the ball past a number of players but couldn’t quite get the cross in. Ramsgate had a couple of opportunities to score in quick succession including a smashing shot that shook the cross bar. Josh piled on the pressure and passed a great ball through to Finley who found the back of the net. It wasn’t long before Finley had another shot but this time it is saved by the keeper. Ramsgate were taking the ball forward but good defending by Elian, Will and Joseph stopped them having a shot at goal. We were pushing forward again and Finley took a long range shot which the keeper saved very well. Ramsgate won the ball in the middle of the pitch and one player managed to take it around our defenders for a one on one with Noah which he lost out on and Ramsgate scored. There continued to be good defending from Nathan and good runs by Leon but we were unable to create any opportunities. Not long before half time, Finley was fouled in the box and we were awarded a penalty. Finley stepped up, struck the ball well but unfortunately it just went the wrong side of the post.

The second half kicked off and it was once again end to end play. Leon was on the ball and made a great pass through to Finley who took the ball forward and managed to force a corner. Josh took the corner which resulted in the keeper saving the ball right on the line. Ramsgate pushed the ball towards their goal but it ended up in the hands of our keeper. Noah took a very good kick, picking out Leon who ran forward and had a good attempt at goal. Ramsgate were on the attack with the same player as before taking the ball around our defenders and goalkeeper giving them another goal. Quickly from the restart we won a corner. Josh took the corner which found Leon who scored a smashing header. Ramsgate had a couple of shots at goal with Noah pulling off two great saves ensuring that the score remained the same. Nathan, Will, Elian and Joseph carried on defending well and taking the ball forward but we were unable to find that final pass or take a shot. We won a corner which was taken by Leon and fell to Nathan who powerfully back heeled it forcing the keeper to make another save right on the line. There was a lot of passing between the two teams when Ramsgate decided to make a run towards goal. Finley sprinted down the pitch to help out in defence and managed to intercept the ball and clear it preventing an inevitable shot at goal. Very late on we won a throw. Leon threw the ball to Nathan who quickly passed it through to Finley who hit it into the bottom corner.

It was a very tight game all the way through with both teams fighting until the end.

Goal scorers today were:
Finely with 2
Leon with 1

Congratulations to Leon who was awarded Player of the Match.
