MATCH REPORT : YELLOW 5th December

YELLOWS had a half hour training session followed by a friendly match against the P3's.  Despite the conditions we had Sasha, Matthew, Abhisar, Aiden, Owen and Roddy all eager and ready to play.

Keith takes up the story...

We only had 6 players available and were supplemented by 2 players from the P3's (Kaka and Ronaldo) to give an 8-a-side match. We didn't have a regular goalkeeper and experimented with a few boys having a spell in goal.

The P3's included some strong players and had the YELLOWS under pressure early on. Despite some good goalkeeping from Abhisar P3 raced into an early 2-0 lead. Roddy and Matthew were having to do a lot of defending and generally cleared their lines well.

Some good passing between Roddy, Aiden and Sasha led to a chance for Owen but the goalkeeper saved well. The muddy conditions were proving challenging and a corner for the P3's led to another goal when the ball stuck in the mud and didn't get cleared. Very unlucky. 0-3 P3.

A free kick led to Owen smashing the ball home to pull a goal back but the P3's then scored with a spectacular shot to extend the lead. 1-4 P3.

A further goal from the P3's was followed by a spell of end to end attacking. 1-5 P3

Sustained pressure from the YELLOWS with Abhisar, Roddy and Owen involved before Sacha forced the ball home. 2-5 P3

The game was fairly even at this stage with various players getting a spell in different positions. Unfortunately, the P3's scored a late goals to give a flattering 2-6 final score.

Well played YELLOW team in difficult circumstances, it was not an easy day for football and only having 6 made things quite tricky.
