Milton & Fulston Utd Vs. Real 60 (11-09-11)
Match 1
Our home pitch looked in great condition for the start of the new Under 8’s season where we welcomed Real 60. The first half was a tight affair with Jack Galloway dominating the midfield and almost adding a goal that was well saved by the Real 60 keeper. Further chances from Joseph and Jack O in the first half went very close. Real 60 had their share of chances in the first and second half, but some great goalkeeping from Man of the Match Dylan flying of his line, helped him keep a clean sheet. Josh O was solid in defence, making some great interceptions and challenges and was well supported by Armed and Samuel. In the second half Joseph almost scored with a fantastic lob that the keeper just palmed away. Then a wonderful dribble by Jack Galloway beating three players until he was failed led to a free kick on the edge of the box. Up stepped Jack O who directed his shot into the top left hand corner, only for it to be deflected by a header on the line. At this point it is important to note coach Mark Jenner said he thought it would be difficult to score today …..
