THE MATCH
What a FANTASTIC display from our U14s today! This was football at its absolute finest - quality on the ball, winning battles all over the pitch, and some absolutely CLASS goals to boot! The team put in a performance that showed exactly why they're going to be a force to be reckoned with this season!

The first half was particularly impressive, with our players showing some beautiful football and dominating in every area of the pitch. When we play like this, there won't be any better footballing teams in the league - that's the standard we're capable of!
The second half brought some tactical changes and different personnel, which made things a bit scrappy at times, but the team adapted brilliantly and still got the result with some great goals!
