Hucknall Sports U13's Sunday 4 Burton Joyce 0

Sunday 29th October 2006

 

Hucknall Sports Under13s Sunday cruised to a 4-0 victory over Burton Joyce in the Yel Division One. Unlucky Burton arrived with only 11 players and unfortunately one was injured in the warm up so they started with 10 players.

Just as Burton thought it couldn’t get any worse their centre half received a nasty cut to the shin so they had to play almost all of the game with 9 men. Given these circumstances the game became a very one sided affair as Hucknall mounted attack after attack and the ball was rarely in the Hucknall half.

To their credit Burton managed to keep a clean sheet until the 30th minute as a combination of poor finishing and good goal keeping kept Hucknall out. Finally a good ball from Glen Brown released Eammon Loftus who slotted home as Hucknall broke the defiant Burton defence.

With only a one nil lead at the interval Hucknall needed to step up a gear and they did for the first 15 minutes of the second half as Joe Wells scored a quick hattrick latching onto some fine balls from Man of the Match Anthony Timmins , Shane Davis and Tom Wormal. Good runs by Sam Henderson set up chances for Loftus and Wells but perhaps it was best that on this day their finishing was not all it could have been as it would have been unfair to see such a plucky team suffer a heavy defeat.

One bonus for Hucknall was the return of Jack Mosedale back from injury for the last 4 weeks and looking like he had never been away.

This win raises Hucknall to 4th place in a very tight and tough First Division and if they continue with their present attitude then who knows what they may achieve this season.
