Under-10 Match Report (By Victoria)
The weather was much better today and you were able to see the players!

We started with a quick goal by Antonio Sabini, his first shot was saved but he quickly recovered to volley the rebound into the top of the net. We then scored again when Aaron Marley got on the end of a cross and tapped the ball into the net. James Holden took a shot from the middle of his own half and, if it hadn’t been for their alert goal keeper, would have scored. Aaron then scored another goal; he beat the keeper to the ball and slotted the ball into the net whilst sliding along the muddy pitch.

Marks Tey’s goal keeper was on top form in the second half and despite the many shots we had, we scored no goals. Then there was a frenzy at their end with the goal mouth surrounded by a mass of players, theirs and ours. We had some close shots but they were cleared off the line, then the ball rolled out to Luke Bloomfield who took a chance and kicked the ball into the frenzy of people. It hit their player before ending up in the back of the net. Both teams had a few chances after this but there were no more goals, thanks to good goalkeeping by both keepers. The final whistle blew and we had won 4-0.

Final score: Bergholt Heath 4 – 0 Marks Tey

Goals: A Marley x 2, O.G, A Sabini

Man of the Match: Harry Dixon

Team: J Bowden; J Holden, H Dixon, J Adams (G Sabini), L Bloomfield (A Sabini), A Sabini (M James), A Marley (J Adams)
