Hucknall Sports U8's Saturday 0 Clifton All Whites Blue 5

Saturday 4th December 2004

Battling Sports suffer another home defeat at the hands of the high flying All Whites.

 

This was in no way the one sided game that the score suggests, in fact it has to be said it rather flatters Clifton. Although Clifton are without doubt an excellent footballing side Sports gave as good as they got and put Clifton under a lot of pressure throughout the match. 

However, Clifton made the most of their chances scoring twice from the corner and two more from open play to go into halftime four goals to the good. 

The second half again saw some quality football from both sides with the action going from end to end but without either side dominating. Clifton eventually scored their fifth and final goal after hitting Sports on the break. 

Again Sports showed their battling spirit with every player giving his all but man of the match went to Rick Allen who did everything that had been asked of him. Clifton must have gone home knowing they had been in a battle and that Sports are not a walkover.
