There were opportunities to extend the league but it wasn’t to be. St Albans equalised with under 10 mins to go. Fabio, the goalkeeper, pulled off 2/3 excellent saves with one being right at the end. It was a tough fought game on an awful pitch and conditions but the boys did it. U9s lost . We’ve lost most weeks now that we are in the top division. (Last week we lost heavy ) We are working hard with the team to keep the morale up. U11s: U11s FIRST WIN against HMH some great spells in the game with us scoring some lovely goals and our keeper pulling of great saves towards the end! A win well deserved!!!! U12s: won 4-0 against HMH we were commanding from start to finish. Our defence was solid throughout, and our strike force causing all sorts of problems for the hosts,with our GK, a spectator for virtually the whole game until called into action deep in the 2nd half pulling off a wonder save to keep his clean sheet. The most pleasing thing is that I have 7 U11s playing up a year, and you can’t tell Gianluca (u11) with a superb hattrick today, taking his tally to 11 goals and 12 assists in his 1st season playing up a year which are fantastic stats U13s: lost 9-1 against a promotion-chasing team. A proud physical battling performance by us rattled the opponents as they constantly kept moaning to the referee for every challenge we made. The result flattered the opponents, as it was never a 9-1 result, as we gifted the opposition three goals from mistakes. We need to cut out these mistakes. The difference in teams showed, but it’s our first season and their fourth. We showed spirit and kept battling from the first whistle to the end. 💪🏻 The boys saw the level we need to get to and took it in. 🔴⚪️ U16s Whites: U16s white narrowly lost 2-1 vs ac finchley South. A competitive game and we hit the bar in the last minute and then had it cleared off the line. Deserved a point. A much better performance vs recent weeks. Most of the boys worked hard & it almost paid off. U18s U18s smoked ! Hinton 10 – 1Absolutely a brilliant performance from boys from start to finishes. High tempo playing high and caused Hinton problems from the 1st min who just couldn’t handle our energy levels. From Defence to attach and the subs every knew what was required of them today and we hardly put a foot wrong. Our passes where on point and when we did lose the ball we won to back in 4 secs. Keeper will be MAD with himself to not keep a clean sheet !! Ola who is playing up a year was fantastic and got a deserve goal. ScoresSam scoring 6! – Michael – Penalty – Ola -Rayan – James
