Hucknall Sports U9's Saturday 0  Burton Joyce 5

Saturday 14th January 2006 

Sports run of six games unbeaten came to an abrupt end against highflying Burton Joyce who have yet to drop a point this season. 

This was always going to be a tough game for Sports and they found themselves a goal down within two minutes when Burton netted after a brilliant display of attacking football. Sports responded well defensively but found goal scoring opportunities hard to come by against a well organised Burton side. Man of the match Stephen Whitley always looked a threat going forward and defensively he was making it hard for Burton with some excellent tracking back and strong tackling but Burton were to find the net again towards the end of the first half. 

Burton started the second half strongly but for the first ten minutes Sports gave as good as they got and should have pulled a goal back but Burton were to make it three-nil with another well taken goal. Sports made wholesale changes to the line up but could not contain Burton even with the Sports keeper Dean Harris making a string of excellent saves, Burton were to find the back of the net twice more.
