Cotgrave 1 Hucknall Sports
U7's White 4
Sunday 25th April 2004
As the 1st half got on the way Hucknall started
very slowly and Cotgrave looked a better side passing the ball around nicely,
although they never really looked threatening.
As the half went on Hucknall started to get
into the game and they pressed the goal of Cotgrave and shortly before half
time Thomas Howarth cut in from the right side and crashed the ball into
the net from 20 yards.
The 2nd half started much better for Hucknall as
they pressed from the off and they were soon 2 up thanks to a goal scored by Kieran
Sheppard who slotted home after good work from Emilio Monaci, who was playing
up front this half instead of his usual goalkeeping spot where he has been
outstanding since volunteering earlier in the season. The third goal was
a David Beckham speciality as Andrew Shaw scored from within his own half as
the ball bounced over the goalkeepers head. The fourth goal was scored by
Kieran directly from a corner, but has Hucknall relaxed after this goal they
were caught out on the break by Cotgrave who scored a consolation goal just
before the final whistle.
The man of the
match award went to Emilio Monaci for his 2nd half display where he hustled
for everything and put the defence of Cotgrave on the back foot.
