Hucknall Sports U9's Saturday 2 Moorgreen Colts 5

Saturday 29th October 2005 

In a match that saw the clash of teams joint second in their league, Sports lose their 100% home record. 

It’s an old cliché but this really was a game of two halves. The first half saw Moorgreen wanting this match and playing some excellent football whilst Sports looked at best to be going through the motions. Moorgreen were rewarded for their pressure with four unanswered goals in the first 15 minutes but this only seemed to spur Sports into life and after a good spell that saw them playing some superb passing football they were rewarded with a corner. Daniel Long struck the corner well and after clearing the Moorgreen defence the ball fell to Richard Allen (man of the match) to plant the ball into the top corner to make it four-one. Sports continued to attack Moorgreen but the half ended four-one. 

Sports started the second period where they had left off in the first and created several good chances before Allen turned provider for Long to drive the ball home for his third goal of the season. Sports continued to play some excellent football and battled hard letting Moorgreen know they were in a fight to the end, and it can only be said that every player gave it his all to try and pull this game back but it was Moorgreen who were to find the net again to make it five-two.
