George Soccer

George's football/soccer club has a web site, http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/londonroadjuniorfootballclub/under12s/

Unfortunately George isn't in the team photo, nor has his individual photo on-line but he was man of the match in the report below. If you do look at the site ignore the number of games they have played. To be honest, they have played a lot. It is just that the website has only been up for a couple of matches.

Whetstone W 4
London Rd Under 12s 1

The under 12s produced their strongest team performance of the season. Unfortunately lack of concentration at the back , proved costly . Both teams played some nice football and the first half looked to be heading for a stalemate .With a couple of minutes to go , a Road clearance dropped to a Whetstone midfielder who smashed the ball back beyond Aaron. With seconds to go , the ball was pumped into our box. With time to clear Ollie hesitated and their forward nipped in to lob Aaron. Half time gave the manager a chance to make some changes . Ollie , Jacob and Marli made way for Josh , Gavin and Harry. We came out flying ,Connor shored up the defence. George Barnett bossed the midfield and captain Jack Gage was running them ragged. We were soon back in the game, after a fine run and finish from Jack Gage. The next 15 minutes saw us push hard for an equaliser. Once again lack of concentration, saw Ben Nailard divert the ball to their forward 3-1. Jack Armstrong was introduced for Jack Rintoul and Marli replaced Ben. Ross dropped back in Ben's position. We kept pushing forward but could not break through. Just before final whistle , Ross sliced a clearance to a grateful forward 4-1. The scoreline did not reflect the open game. A few more performances like this and we will march up the table. Aaron and George both had their best games for the club.
