Radley-Away

First game 1-0

Team
Kieron Massingham,Cameron Innes,Tate Rogers,Lester Davies,Jack Tutton,Ross McMahon,Leyton Brandon.

We all knew this was possibly going to be the hardest game of our season, Radley were unbeaten in the U6's,U7's and current U8's seasons and are a well disciplined and organised side, after drawing 2-2 away last season we were all hopeful of ending their excellent run over this long period. We started very strongly and had them pinned back for long periods and looked the most likely to score, Excellent chances falling to Jack Tutton and Leyton Brandon who were guilty of not hitting the target ! and Lester Davies hitting the post but Radley scored with their only shot of the game which was an excellent volley after we switched off at a throw in and allowed the cross to be put in too easily. The score line could have easily been 1-4 but in football if you dont score you don't win !! I was very pleased with the performance, movement,passing,marking, but we have forgotten how to score which has usually not been a problem.

Kieron Massingham,Thomas Van Gucci,Thermayne Barrett,Robbie Morton,Thomas Dunning,Joesph Dunning,Jordan Lawson.

This was a very even game and Radley created more chances than we did but again a brave performance from everyone, But again I think shooting practice at home in the garden and training is required.

Abingdon - Home

First Game 2-2

Team
Kieron Massingham,Cameron Innes,Tate Rogers,Lester Davies,Jack Tutton,Ross McMahon,Leyton Brandon.

This game was always going to be close as both first teams were unbeaten in their first three games of the season and the large crowd were not disappointed by the quality and pace of football played by both sides in this game. Abingdon open the scoring in the first couple of minutes, after we should have cleared the ball.

We equalized after a superb volley from Leyton Brandon after the ball had come over his head in the box. Half time 1-1, After a team talk at half time all the team agreed they could all play better and give a little bit more. Abingdon scored direct from a corner which went in off the far post. The team responded very well with a well earned equalizer after long periods of possession and pressure in the second half the goal scored in the box by Leyton Brandon. This was a great game to watch for the neutrals but not the managers or parents!

This game started very well with both teams competing to gain an advantage, Robbie Morton scored a screamer from half way between the penalty box and the half way line which was unstoppable.After half time we continued to create more chances than our visitors but for all the possession we couldn't score and then after a lapse of defending for one moment it cost us the win.
