Mid Lancs Colts
u10 premiere League Sunday
18th March 2007
Kick off 10.0am
First fixture using the new super
changing rooms, and the timing couldn’t have been
better. The weather was unbelievable, snow ,hail and
very very strong winds ,the heated facilities were a
huge welcome.
After securing the goalposts to the
ground (again) Euxton kicked off ( and so did the hail)
. The boys pushed forward straight from the kick off and
into their box, Nicky and Liam exchanged passes forcing
a number of tackles, the ball fell loose to a prone Liam
who poked it home 1-0. Coping with the conditions was a
major problem for both teams and it was no surprise that
Longridge picked up a loose ball and managed to
equalise.1-1 This spurred the boys on, and using the
wind to their advantage Robert scored twice, Nicky
scored twice and Liam scored again. 6-1 and half time.
Both sets of boys were struggling to
keep warm and getting used to the wind, Longridge kicked
off and using the wind advantage soon had Tommo
producing some excellent saves although he was unable to
stop Longridge pulling one back 6-2. Longridge kept
piling on the pressure, with our defence struggling to
get the ball out of our half. Longridge came close with
a couple of efforts, Matthew clearing superbly one
effort off the line.
Final Whistle 6-2 , whilst not one of
our better performances by a long chalk, but the weather
was unbelievable and played a big part for both teams.
Still we came away deserving the 3 points, 2 games to
go, we need to win them both to secure the title. The
boys showing the same commitment as today can do it!
