U9s Blues Frozen out on cold winter morning!

Moston Juniors Reds 4 V 2 SCJFC Blues................By Rob Jones...............
With hindsight this was a match lost in the
first eight minutes as Moston Juniors Reds raced into a three goal
lead. Perhaps the early kick-off and the freezing weather contributed
to some poor defending leaving the opposition forwards unopposed in
front of goal and Deacon with no chance on each occasion. The third
goal at least sparked a response and 5 minutes before half-time a
corner from Conor was flicked in on the volley by Will. Deacon made a
great save just before half-time and then Daniel L latched onto a fine
pass from Connor and shot under the keeper to make it 2-3. Amazingly,
It could have been all square at the break as the two Daniels combined
well - Daniel S playing a fine pass from defence and Daniel L’s shot
was well saved by the keeper.HT 2-3

Moston Juniors Reds started the
second half in much the same way as the first and could have scored a
couple more goals but poor finishing meant the Blues were still in with
a chance. Then Conor went on a fine run and had a shot which the keeper
saved well. Almost immediately Moston went on the attack but Conor put
in a fine tackle at the other end. Thomas then made a great save, but
shortly after was powerless to prevent a fine shot from giving Moston a
two goal lead. Just before the end Conor’s fine cross was put just wide
by Owen. FT 2-4 Overall a disappointing match but superb determined
performances by Daniel L (man of the match) and Conor, without whom it
could have been much worse
