U13's 7 v Hesketh Colts 1
This was a very pleasing game and the attitude of the boys and application cannot be faulted during the whole of this game. The movement off the ball and the intelligent passing of Bibby and Rooke from wide and central areas ran the Hesketh defence ragged.
Rooke got the first off the far post after a corner was swung in and Gormally got the second with a cracking finish from a Rooke through ball. Hesketh pulled one back after neat work on the edge of the area which Ryan got a hand to and then they missed a penalty (which wasn’t!) Ryan sat on the ball after it was driven at him!
After Anderson was adjudged to have raised his arm in the area. It was actually an indirect free kick. At 2-1 at half time and looking comfortable but needing bite in the centre Anderson was moved forward and Glover came in at centre back to increase the pressure with Rooke moving up front with Sam and replacing Linge who had had a solid first half .
The rout began with Gormally being fed by Rooke for his second and our third and moments after the Hesketh Centre Back went off injured they collapsed with Sam adding two more (one all his own work) running through with only Rooke and no defenders alongside him and the other a great diagonal ball from Rooke playing him in.
Deano added the sixth goal after a cross from Bibby was flicked on to him at the far post by Rooke and finally Keating on as sub followed in a shot from Anderson and helped it over the line
