U9's Whites v Failsworth West Tigers Sat 21st Jan

Stalybridge Celtic Whites 5-2 Failsworth West Tigers By Phil Read..

In blustery weather conditions the Whites continued their winning streak in a hard fought game against a tough Tigers team. Whist the wind made it difficult for the lads to maintain their normal flowing football they were soon creating opportunities to score, so it was no surprise when Shay put the Whites 1:0 up, only for the Tigers to equalise against the run of play. However, with a brace of goals from Rhys they managed to take a 3:1 lead in to the half time break.
Soon after half time the Tigers looked like they were going to make a game of it by pulling a goal back but this only served to bring the Whites back in to life. Midway through the half the ball fell to Callum who from distance hit a thunderbolt in to the top corner. Before the game finished the Whites managed to score a fine team goal when Josh caught a ball and rolled it out wide to Alex who neatly played it down the line to Rhys. He beat the Tigers player to the ball and squared it to Luke who turned and cracked the ball first time into the bottom corner. Final score was

5:2 to the Whites.

MOM: Rhys
