U10s V Dukinfield Youth 10th Sept

SCJFC Blues 2 v 1 Dukinfield Youth.

After last weeks defeat the boys were looking to improve on last weeks performance. From the Start the boys were under pressure but continued to work hard with both Jack C and Jack I defending well as Duky looked dangerous with some good attacks. But on ten minutes it was Callum who latched onto a through ball and stuck a sweet left footed ball into the Duky net. Again the boys had to weather some fierce Duky attacks and lead at half time.

Second half the boys started to play more as a team, though Duky went close hitting the crossbar, though they eventually equalized with their striker pick up a loose parry. But this made the boys shift up a gear as they started to knock the ball about and a fantastic run from Tyler latching on to a great through ball and dinking the ball over the diving keeper into the net. There were a frantic last few minutes but the boys finished strong with both Jack's being M.O.M.

SCJFC Whites 0 V 3 Dukinfield Youth.

The Whites today seemed to put themselves under pressure today with the boys having real trouble getting the ball out of their own half. Second best in many departments, our usually dependable players seemed to go missing , and a lack of linked passing and movement gave Dukinfield an easy ride. Even some of the body language seemed to say they were beaten after only minutes, which is not our style... Back to the drawing board and hopefully the team can get back to basics and start playing some football and not putting themselves under pressure from the back, where they created their own downfall...We are better than this...
