14s Can't Tame The Tigers

Today the 14s played Prestwich Marauders Tigers and lost 5-3, but for a disallowed goal and a dubious refereeing decision the result could have been different. In the first half the Celts were there usual self, conceeding two goals in the first five minutes, they then rallied and pulled 2 back (one from George and one from Danny). Half time 2-2. Onto the second half, which lke the first half was a pretty even contest, the Tigers scored two more goals 2-4, the Celts then had a goal disallowed (still don't know why!) before George scored direct from a free kick on the edge of the box 3-4. Then came the strange refereeing decision, JP was shielding the ball with the Tigers player all over him, the referee saw this as obstruction, much to the dis belief of all watching and playing. The Tigers took the freekick quickly whilst the Celts were in discussion with the referee with the ball ending up in the back of the net 3-5. The Celts tried in vain to get the extra goals they needed. Game over 3-5.

Scorers: George 2, Danny 1
