Wirral U14's v Neston

On a bitterly cold Tuesday night the Year 9 team played away a Neston.  It was one of those nights when the win was so important and our performance mattered!!  We started well with the impressive Wilkinson dictating the play.  We played compact and defended stoutly with Deakin and Dobson ensuring their forwards were tightly marked and then Parso and Crane offered us width from full back.

The energy tenacity and guile of the midfielders McGillaway, Edwards, Roberts and at times Lamen supported the forwards of Gouldson, Camp, Sutton.  I was Wilkinson who grabbed the first opportunity with an excellent reverse stick shot that went into the bottom corner.  Further pressure was put on the Neston goal and with chances down the right falling to Roberts and opportunities falling to Gouldson to add to our lead.  It was not until the second half that we scored a second, another reverse stick shot from Wilkinson was saved by the goalkeeper only for McGillaway to steal in and score for 3yards taking a whack from the goalkeeper in the process, 2-0.  Happy Days!!

Well done fellas, a superb performance.
