Stalybridge U15s (Sat) vs Hough End Griffins (Cup) 19/02/2012

A sunday afternoon Kickoff at Blocksages, for a place in the Semi Final!

Stalybridge started well and for 20 minutes we were giving the Griffins a game until a few defensive errors cost us dearly. A lack of communication between the back 4 and the keeper really put us under pressure.

4 goals conceded in a lacklustre 20 minute period of the first half meant Stalybridge had a mountain to climb in the second half, unfortunately we had no response and in the second half conceded once more.

For the last 20 minutes of the game we came back into it and defended well, but were still unable to test their keeper to any great extent.

0-5 scoreline flattered Hough End but they were the side that wanted it more and probably will go on to win the Cup. Good Luck to them.

Disappointing game to watch and I'm sure we can all learn from our mistakes and build on this performance!
