Horwich 3 v U13 1
This was a match that could have gone either way, but 3 things in the match that Horwich did well and we did poorly affected the outcome.
A general commitment to win the 2nd ball, movement when not having the ball either for a pass or to support their teamates were the main issues, along with a lack of clinical finishing in front of goal.
The 1st half was much better than the 2nd, with Jack and Nick in midfield and Luke and the 2 Toms in defence all playing well individually although all of them could have communicated better.
Our goal came from a cross from Tom, which Jez got to the end of to put into the back of the net.
We did create a number of other chances but couldn’t convert any of them.
HT 1-0
Our display in the 2nd half was very disappointing with only Tom H and Liam (playing right mid) performing at anything the level that we and hopefully they expect.
Horwich scored 3 goals which while well taken, could have all been prevented with just more commitment to get to the ball first.
Final Score 1-3
