| 14 Sep 2008 | U11s Hawks | 1-4 | Tiptree Minors Tigers | Friendly |
This was another tough test for the new Hawks in only there second game,with changes made to last weeks line up. In a 2 3 1 formation saw Ronnie in goal with Aaron and James (Jimbo) in defence, with Brennen, Ross and David making up the midfield, and Tyler playing up front.
Some good early exchanges saw both sides missing chances with Tiptree clipping the post,with Ross and Tyler coming off after ten minutes having worked there socks off, Liam and Henry entered the game.
While it was tight with Hawks just shading it Tiptree were on the attack, but a great tackle from Henry saw captain David get the ball, after David layed it off Hawks put there best piece of football together which ended back at Davids feet who in turn ran in the box and smashed the ball into the top corner. The look on Davids face said it all (and Petes) at last the Hawks had got there first goal, With both sets of fans getting behind the teams it was end to end then half time 1 0 Hawks.
Half time subs which saw Ross and Tyler coming back on for Aaron and Brennen and Henry going in goal for Ronnie we were under way, with the second half underway the pressure from Tptree was to much a great goal from just outside the box 1 1.
The Hawks needed a response bringing Brennen back on. a break from the back which started with Tyler getting the ball who in turn passes to Liam who passes to Ross then to Bren then David he was off beating two players down the right with Brennen breaking a neck to get in the box the pass was on, with one defender to beat David went for goal which brought a good save from the Tiptree keeper, The ball came out but it just did not fall for Brennen,the Tiptree boys cleared there lines.
The pressure from Tiptree which saw them hit the post 3 times was to much with the Hawks, failing to clear the ball they were 2 1 down, the fight back was done with Tiptree adding another 2 in the final few minutes from some good play. Full time Hawks losing 4 1 .
A cracking effort from all the boys in only your second game WELL DONE BOYS !
