Heaton Mersey v HMG/Brooklands
U12’s played two half hour matches against HMG and Brooklands. The game against HMG was 8 a side due to HMG having fewer players. It was a one sided game throughout with Mersey dominating the field. The size of the pitch suited Mersey. Plenty of passing took place. Mersey appeared to have learnt from their mistakes last week and kept the ball in the air. HMG attacked and had a number of shots on goals to make Max work hard. Some great saves were done by Max in both games and a comment was made how good Max was. Special mention to Tom who made his debut with the team. The quarter time score was 3-0 with a final score of 7-2. This was a fairly comfortable win for Mersey. Brooklands was a different story all together. We played a full team game. Mersey were tired again but fought for the first quarter passing the ball around. Brooklands scored and Mersey responded to equalise. From there on in both teams gave it their all but Brooklands had the edge. Brooklands had a many shots on target but a few beat Max. Despite the score, Mersey fought on. We won a lot of the face offs in both games, Mitchell fought well to win the ball. We kept battling but when the final whistle went we had lost 6-1.The difference in the two sides was the ability of the midfield to get up and down the pitch, this was obvious in the latter half of the game where the Brooklands midfield subs made all the difference. In the end Brooklands were just too strong but it was a great game to watch. | | 1st
