U11 Orange - Bulkington Sports

Into the 2nd half and the Brakes’ dominance continued and the pressure finally paid off with Fin G scoring directly from a corner again.

The lads stepped it up and it was great to see them starting to take the coaches’ feedback onboard by passing the ball more.

A great bit of wing play from Finlay down the right, who put in a fantastic cross allowed Fin G to score his second goal. Minutes later, Fin completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

It could have been more, but Bulkington’s keeper pulled off a series of fine saves to keep the score down

Bulkington won the penalty shootout 2-1, with Harry placing his spot kick in the corner. Some real hard luck with our other penalties, but I wanted to say well done to Benji, Finlay, Noah and Oscar for stepping up to take your penalties 💪. You were unlucky, keep your heads up 👏.

An all round great performance from the lads, we had 21 efforts on goal (thanks @Marie for the stats) and I really can’t remember any attempts at our goal, so a massive well done to the whole team 👏

Special mentions:

First special mention goes to the whole team.

Everyone had a good game today 💪

Teddy, good forward play and bravery leading the line.

Finlay P: worked his socks off again down the right and provided a lovely assist for Fin’s 2nd goal.

Fin G: Scored a hat-trick and was a handful up front all game, well done, you are our player of the Match 👏

Harry for his play up and down the left and defensive work in the 2nd half making a vital clearance.

Up the Brakes 💛🖤
