Hucknall Sports U12's Red 3 Ruddington Village Colts 2

Saturday 2nd May 2009

Sports come away with all three points but chances were missed and Ruddington played the offside rule well to contain Hucknall’s forwards.  

Within minutes a pass through the middle from Mark Shelton sets up Macauley Walker, who gets round the keeper but his shot goes just wide. Walker has two more chances that are wide of the target before a long goal kick from Kieran Sheppard fools everybody; the ball bounces over the defenders, but quick thinking Shelton runs on to tap the ball past the out coming keeper.  

Oliver Davidson Turner has a chance to increase the lead but his effort is straight to the keeper, minutes later Walker hits one past the post. But from the goal kick Shelton collects the ball fires it back towards goal and the keeper couldn’t hold on to the ball. Curtis Edwards gets his chance and taps in from close range.  

Ruddington kick off this second half 2-0 down. Sports keep coming forward, Adam Boyfield, Sam Farn and Kieran Duncan playing well in midfield are pushing up hoping to give their forwards more options, but a breakaway down the right from Ruddington and a fine cross finishes in the back of the net.  

2-1 now to Sports and Ruddington show more fight, too much fight as Shelton weaves himself into the penalty area, and he is brought down. Shelton takes this himself, a fine shot that is equally saved, but Shelton follows up and his second attempt is in the net.  

3-1 up and Sports seem to be happy with the score as they cruise along, but Ruddington haven’t finished and as they get into the Sports Penalty area they are awarded a penalty. A good penalty in the top corner giving Sheppard no chance. The game finishes at 3-2, Sports a step nearer winning the league, but they need to step up a gear to achieve it.  

Adam Boyfield reads the game well, he is creating a good partnership with his defenders and today has been awarded “The Man of the Match” trophy.
