THORNTON CLEVELEYS SHARKS U9s 1 BJFF A 3

A WELL fought game with BJFF taking an early advantage with two quick goals. Andrew MacRae and Sam Tittensor had good games in defence for the Sharks. In the second half the Sharks moved up a gear with good attacking runs from Liam McDonald and Dave Healey. Alex Evans fought hard for the ball as usual and made his presence felt. One of his runs ended with a brilliant shot from outside the penalty box which proved too strong for the BJFF keeper. Alex Evans was Man of the Match.

THORNTON CLEVELEYS DOLPHINS U9s 0 BJFF B 1

AN even game with both sides missing opportunities with a few shots from BJFF hitting the post. Francis Twizell had a good game in defence for the Dolphins, as did Chris Brown, the captain. It was a very good passing game despite the conditions. A new player, Chris Lamb outplayed and out fought most of the BJFF team. A well deserved Man of the Match award for Chris Lamb.
