Match Report NMJFC Bees U9 v Buxton Young Bucks U9 -04/02/24
Today, the Bees were up against a familiar opponent in Buxton Young Bucks… over the last season and a half we’ve had some great games against them and today didn’t disappoint.
Once again, we were down to the bare bones as both David and Charlie failed fitness tests. To help us out, Frankie C and Dylan from the Wasps graciously helped us out.
We lined up with Stan ‘the man’ in goal, William and Frankie C at the back, Millie on the left, Brooke in the middle and Dylan on the right with Leo playing as our striker. Callum would be called upon soon enough (Rocco was running late and got there just after kick off)
William was captain for the day 👍🏻 The Bees started sprightly enough, but were struggling to break down the Buxton team. There were flashes of our calm passing game but we weren’t clicking.
Dylan was tracking back, getting stuck in trying to get the ball forward, Millie and Brooke were doing the same.
Frankie C and William were busy trying to keep the Buxton players out. Leo made a few runs but the Buxton defenders were on point when intercepting the Bees passes. Part way through the half, a double change with Callum and Rocco coming on for Frankie and Dylan.
Callum showed great passion and was looking to constantly be involved 👍🏻 he got stuck into some great tackles, always looking for the ball which is great to see.
Late on in the first half, the Bees broke forward, Brooke made a great pass through to Leo, who hit a shot which took a slight deflection off a Buxton defender and went in (it was going in anyway, so it’s a goal for LR ⚽️)
Half time chat, the Bees knew what they needed to improve on so we went out for the second half with renewed optimism.
Some of the passes were starting to work, nice one two’s and some great passing and moving. Leo was threading balls through to Millie and Brooke but each time the Buxton defence was upto the task. Millie had a great break through, took a shot and hit the post, whilst at the other end Stanley was shot stopping and clearing his lines.
Another break through on the left after some good defensive work by Rocco, saw Millie break through again and smash the ball past the keeper ⚽️ Callum and Will had been running all afternoon, so another double swap saw Frankie and Dylan back on to try and push for more goals. Dylan came close as did Brooke, but the Bees couldn’t add to their tally.
Thanks to Jordan and Mike for staying an extra hour so Frankie and Dylan could help out 🐝
