Hucknall Sports U13's Red 4 Ravenshead 1
Saturday 31st October 2009
YEL Saturday Division 1
Today’s game saw Hucknall Sports play local rivals Ravenshead in a
re-arranged match, this game has usually been a tense and sometimes nervy
affair, and today would be no exception.
From the 1st whistle Ravenshead went straight for Sports' footballing throat,
and within 2 mins could have easily gone 1-0 up, but the shot went wide of the
Sports post. The game was ebbing and flowing from one end to the other, with
chances at both ends and Ravenshead seemingly well up for the occasion as per
usual. Eventually the breakthrough came with a fine Sports move and well taken
goal by Joe Harrison for Sports. The first goal normally kicks Sports into gear,
but today they seemed to be abit at sixes and sevens, Ravenshead were still
having as many chances as Sports and on one such attack they were awarded a free
kick just outside the 18yd box. The free kick was taken by Bradley North, who
hit a great shot over the wall, through the keepers hands & into the top of
Sports' net for 1-1.
The half time whistle signalled a fair 1-1 score line, and not so much a half of
fireworks for Sports, but more of a Halloween nightmare.
The 2nd half started, and with their managers opinions of the 1st half
performance still ringing in their ears the Sports players came out firing on
all cylinders. A Sports corner saw a great ball into the 18yd box and the
defender Kieran Davies popped up with a great header to put Sports in front
again, 2-1. Sports now attacked Ravenshead relentlessly, they had chance after
chance after chance, but still they couldn't hit the net again, until eventually
towards the end Macauley Walker and Jolli Heer both got a goal each to put the
game beyond any doubt at 4-1.
A much better second half performance by Sports giving them the 3pts, and a good
reliable performance by Kieran Duncan giving him the Man of the Match award.
