U14's win against Sheffield
U14's win against Sheffield
Our U14 team had a home league match against Sheffield on Saturday 2nd September, where they aimed to replicate the success of their win at the away match earlier in the year.
The game got off to a very close start, with both teams taking it in turns to score – resulting in a 4-3 lead to Sedgefield at the end of the first quarter. The team worked very well defensively to ensure that Sheffield were unable to score any further goals up to half time, where the score was an impressive 7-3. After a team talk from head coach Adam Woods, the second half of the game started impressively with two more goals within a minute and the team’s fitness shone through with an end of quarter score of 13-4. The final quarter of the game saw Sheffield’s grit and determination shine through with four goals in quick succession, but this was not enough for their young team to win the game. Final score was 14-8 to Sedgefield. Well done to Thomas who scored a fantastic 8 goals and getting his name on the score sheet in all quarters of the game – and thank you to our friends at Sheffield for travelling to play the game.
Team manager Sarah Gregory commented “it was great to have some valuable match play as well as gaining some league points in the process”.
The Club would like to thank all parents, coaches and volunteers who helped on the day to ensure that the match was able to take part, including those who helped fundraising efforts with our bake sale and pre-loved kit stall, raising much needed money for Club funds.
