Match Report NMJFC U12s v Adswood U12s - 24/03/24

Writer's picture: R.OakesR.Oakes

The Millers played their first away game in what felt like months and it started brightly.


Hazza was sharp in goal and distributed quickly and effectively.


Cole, Tommy and Indi controlled the defence well and linked with midfield at every opportunity.


Darragh and Bertie were having joy down the wings fed by Bobby and Gregory in the central role with Freddie battling hard to win the ball back for the team.

Several near misses or good saves from the Adswood keeper saw the Millers unable to open the scoring.


Adswood who were always a threat scored on the counter with an unlucky deflection which left Hazza with no chance in goal.


Adswood scored a second after sloppy defending at a corner and the Millers were up against it.


The Millers kept attacking down both flanks and Bertie scored an excellent goal to get the Millers back in it after a flowing passing move.


Adswood replied quickly and the millers went in at half time two goals down.


Skipper Bobby reduced the arrears to one with an excellent long range effort.


Unfortunately as before, we conceded quickly to stay two goals down. This time Bertie scored a well taken goal with his left foot and at 4-3 the Millers chased the equaliser but could not manage to find it.


A couple of goals were conceded as the we pressed and were caught by a long ball over the top of the defence.


Although the score finished 6-3 for the hosts there was plenty of positives in the game for the Millers.


Archie made several key saves and distributed well in the second half. Stan, Ryan and Lincoln all helped maintain the energy levels of the team for all of the second half too.


The team will take a valuable lesson from this game in relation to the importance of converting your chances and then keeping the opposition out for a sustained period after scoring a goal.


The effort, endeavour and conduct of this team is something to be admired and we as coaches are very proud of the way our kids play the game.


Onto the next 👊


Up the mini millers 💛🖤
