The U8’s were up against Inter Cheadle West, for our penultimate game of the season.
The boys were missing our captain Rhys today so lined up with a 5v5. Starting with Jackson in goal, James in defence, Teddy and Stanley in midfield and Charlie J as striker.
Inter pressed form the kick off showing they were here for the win and were immediately testing James and Jackson. Both doing a great jobs in their respective roles.
Once we settled into the game we started to generate some attacks, with Stanley making the moves down on the right and getting the ball to Charlie at the front.
Teddy was soon on the end of a loose ball which he put away from close range.
Charlie T came on as striker, getting some time outfield before his 2nd half stint in goal. The second half got underway and Charlie T was immediately up against it and worked hard to try and keep goals at bay.
At the other end of the pitch Teddy found the net again being presented with a similar opportunity at the back post.
Charlie J came in at midfield and Jackson as striker to give Teddy a break and both got to work getting the tackles in and making runs forward. Eventually Stanley was rewarded for his efforts and got a well deserved goal.
The last 10 minutes Inter turned up the gas and it was down to James to keep it tight with the midfielders dropping in to help.
A tough game for the boys a few lessons to be learned. Player of the match was given to Teddy who worked so hard all game.
