Hucknall Sports U16's 4 Rolls Royce 1

Saturday 3rd January 2004

 
This was a typical end to end derby match with good chances falling to both sides but Sports finished the game far stronger.

 

Rolls had territorial advantage in first half playing with wind, but it was Sports who took the lead through Nikhil Dhiri midway in the half when he followed up to score from close range after the Rolls goalie spilled Cheeseman's shot. Rolls equalised through Ryan Orton when Sports failed to clear a corner properly 10 minutes before half time.

 

In the second half Sports created themselves far more chances with the wind at their backs  and a blistering finish from Cheeseman was no more than they deserved to go 2 - 1 up. Sports kept up the pressure and were rewarded with 2 scrappy goals in goalmouth melees first for Adam White and lastly for Cheeseman who put in a tremendous performance against his old team.
