U10s V Reddish Vulcans 22nd October 2011

Reddish Vulcans B 2 v 1 SCJFC Blues..........By Rob Dolan...................... 

This week the team played Reddish Vulcans who are joint top of the league and unbeaten so far this season. In the early part of the game, Tyler had three efforts on goal and was unfortunate not to score. Meanwhile, at the other end, Owen made some brave tackles to keep the Vulcans at bay and Thomas made a number of saves to keep the score at 0-0. It was a great team effort with all players giving 100%. The Blues were unlucky not to score when Daniel L headed well from a Connor throw in. Unfortunately, the Vulcans then scored with seconds to go before half time and then made it 2-0 early in the second half. The Blues then replied with a well deserved goal, Connor took another great throw in, Tyler headed on and James smashed the ball home to make it 2-1. James and Dan L both had further efforts on goal and Thomas made another great save to keep the Blues in the game. The whole team deserve credit for their energy and commitment today. MOM Owen (great defending), and Tyler (worked tirelessly throughout the game).

Reddish Vulcans A 4 v 1 SCJFC Whites

The Whites found themselves up against a very physical Vulcans side. In the early stages, Adam worked well to create an opportunity for Robson whose shot was on target but was saved by the keeper. Jack then won a free kick which he hit from some distance again forcing a save from the Vulcans goalie. Deacon made some good stops including a double save but the Vulcans did some slick passing and they bagged a couple of goals to make it 2-0 at half time. The Whites then conceded a third but were able to pull one back as Archie set up Jack who thundered the ball in to the net. Jack, Will and Archie had shots on goal but the Whites were then caught on the break and the Vulcans scored to make it 4-1. Man of the match Jack (brave tackling and scored a great goal).
