Wirral U15's v St Anselms - Oval

On a nice Thursday evening down the Oval the Year 10 side assembled ready for action!  With new team shirts (which we will have to get some pictures of) we started well with debut performances from Muise and Quaeshi.  We had some players starting and finishing the game in different positions. Partington started at right back, Lea had a storming game and played the majority of the second half at left back.  Sterling performances from Broom and Evans at centre back showed promise all night.  Wirral went ahead through the industrious Quaeshi who slotted home from close range!

But once that goal had gone in the game was all about mistakes.  Always trying to pass the ball through the middle not keeping possession and trying to do too much  It lead to a St Anselms corner that i think we tried to clear 5 times even with O'Connell back heeling the ball could we get it clear! 1-1.  A stern talking too at half time brought out with new ideas and we had a good go throughout the half employing them.  As the half progressed we saw good opportunities created by Dutton, Gray, Hodgson, Ellis and Hayat as we pressed for a second goal.

It was a much better performance and this team has plenty of promise it must realise it potential and work hard together to achieve it!!

Well played boys!
