A tough game was in store for Hucknall Sports U-8 White as they took on Kimberley Miners Welfare who were second in the Green division of the YEL .

Playing up hill and against the wind Sports played brilliantly with most of the early play but they were caught on the counter as Welfare slotted in a goal just before the break.

 

Sports' upped the tempo for the second half with constant pressure on the Kimberley goal, resulting in a most professional headed goal from Joe Hewitt direct from a perfect corner.  Kimberley had not come for a draw and began to pepper the Hucknall goal, but a great performance from man of the match keeper Jack Grainger kept the score at 1-1.
