Abbeymead A U10 Match Report 22nd Oct 2005

ABBEYMEAD A 7 HUCCLECOTE 2

Four goals from Luke McMahon helped Abbeymead A maintain their 100% start to the season. Luke's first goal put Rovers a goal up after 5 minutes but this cancelled out six minutes later when Hucclecote scored from a corner. Rovers again took the lead with another McMahon goal on the 19th minute before Matt Williams scored an impressive solo goal 3 minutes later, beating three defenders before driving in from close range. Bradley Vanstone put Rovers 4 - 1 up at the break by scoring from close range after the Hucclecote keeper could only deflect a Ryan Couling shot into his path.

Two goals in two minutes (36mins and 38mins) from McMahon put this game well and truly beyond Hucclecote. However, even in this situation, Hucclecote kept pushing and Rovers keeper, Sam Goodchild made an excellent point blank save on the 30 minute mark when we dived down to his left to push a close range shot around the post, Matt Hartshorn also had to clear off the line in the final minute, which lead to a second goal from Matt Williams finished the scoring at 7-2. A good competitive game in which Rovers were always in control and but for a series of good saves from the Hucclecote keeper could have seen a bigger goal margin.

Abbeymead A - Sam Goodchild, Josh Vallender, Bradley Palmer, Bradley Vanstone, Matt Williams, Callum Merchant, Luke McMahon, Matt Hartshorn, Ryan Couling
