U14 Blacks 26/27 - Dearne and district

UFCA u14 blacks 2-0 Dearne and District

A really good performance on a difficult pitch to play on!!

Going into the game and seeing the pitch we knew it would be a different game to what we were used to. A tiny, bobbly grass pitch with small goals posted us a different challenge. After the warm up we knew it wasn’t going to be a pitch that we could play our usual football on but the boys adjusted brilliantly.

Dearne were very direct and looked to play to their big striker as soon as possible. The backline plus Max in goal and the midfield dealt with this superbly and that gave us the platform to go and create opportunities for ourselves.

In possession we knew we had to find spaces in behind the Dearne backline as it was very congested and not the surface to play in. Once again the boys did this extremely well and a great finish by Tobi after a great pass from Lucas saw us take the lead.

Our second goal was brilliantly followed in once again by Tobi after a well struck free kick from Chappy was spilled by the keeper!!

Well done everyone and into the next round against a tough but familiar opponent in Evo Sheffield!!🖤💛
