After what seems ages since they played due to the weather (actually only 2 weeks were missed), Bergholt Heath were back to action this weekend.
The Under 9s were comfortable 4-0 winners away to Marks Tey. Jonah Murray and Matthew Sanderson with 2 goals each.
The Under 13s were in Open Cup action, at home to Great Bentley and run out 7-1 winners. 3-0 up at the break with a first half hat-trick from ‘man of the match’ Antonio Sabini – one via a free kick fired into the roof of the net and another a volley from a corner – Bergholt took their foot of the pedal at the start of the second half and let great Bentley back into the game with the midfield allowing the opposition to run through the middle of the pitch, and Great Bentley duly scored. This, however, woke Bergholt up. An own goal by a Bentley player – who was trying to get in front on Aaron Marley inside the six yard box – soon settled the team down again. Owen Bernhardt got onto the score sheet next, reacting to a blocked shot quickest, before Antonio scored his fourth of the match. With 5 minutes to go, the final goal was scored – Owen running onto a through ball and coolly finishing into the bottom corner.
The Under 16s were the only other team in action this weekend, going down 14-1 at home to Frinton & Walton reds. Thomas Buckley scoring the solitary Bergholt goal, who could only put out a team of 9 players this weekend.
