U9's Whites v Failsworth West Lions KO Cup Sat 3rd Dec

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 2-0 failsworth West Lions By Phil Read

It was back to cup action this week and the Whites started brightly again the Lions and were soon creating chances and narrowly missed taking the lead when Nic crossed for Shay who headed just wide. Soon after they found themselves in the lead with Jack picking up on a loose ball and slotted it in to the corner. The Whites continued to press on and before half time doubled the lead when Rhys cracked a shot from distance. It was much the same in the second half with Alex, who was excellent at the back, managed to latch on to a clearance and fired the ball just wide. This was followed up by 2 close attempts from Luke and Nic brought a fine save out of the keeper late on. A quieter day in nets for Josh who was only truly tested late on in the game with a fine left handed save at the near post.

MOM Rhys and Alex
