It was a glorious but chilly morning as the Yellows headed over to Glossopdale for their game against CHCS U7 Lions.
Due to illness hitting the Yellows squad just before the game, only 4 players were available from their usual squad of 9. After a quick chat with the CHCS coach, they agreed to lend us one of their players so we could still have a 5 a side game.
So with Tobias putting his hand up to play for the Yellows, he put his allegiance to CHCS to one side and lined up with Ronan (who put his hand up to be in goal with our usual goalkeeper absent), Dylan, James and Charlie.
The game started and both teams were very respectful of each other, taking into account the unique circumstances the teams were playing in. But as the first half went on the game opened up and the opposition ended the half ahead taking advantage of the chances they created.
Half time came and Tobias went back to CHCS and Stanley came over play for the Yellows for the second half. The Yellows also made a change with Charlie going in goal and Ronan fired up to play outfield.
The changes paid dividends with Charlie making some outstanding saves in goal straight from kick-off. After that the Yellows took control of the game, playing out from the back with some outstanding passes to set up wave after wave of attack. Dylan’s reading of the game at the back was first class, anticipating every ball that came his way. James, our captain for today, built on winning player of the week in training this week, with some fantastic tackles, forward runs and passes. Finally Ronan, who was a constant thorn in the oppositions side with his pace, trickery and fierce left foot.
A well deserved second half goal fest from the Yellows with Ronan scoring a quick fire hat-trick ⚽️⚽️⚽️ and James smashing an amazing effort into the roof of the goal ⚽️
Special mention today to CHCS for their sportsmanship by giving up their players to ensure today’s game could go ahead as a 5 a side game. This is what it’s all about!
Well done Yellows - you were awesome today. Roll on next week!
