Abbeymead U10A Match Report 8th Oct
Abbeymead Rovers A 3 Forest Rangers 0
Abbeymead got off to a great start with Matt Williams putting them a goal up after only 3 minutes. But a competitive Forest side showed why they have enjoyed a recent run of good results and fought hard to try and get back on even terms in what was a close and well contended first half.
The second half proved to be more of same, although a solid display from the Rovers defensive pairing of Matt Hartshorn and Josh Vallender reduced the scoring chances for Rangers to a few speculative long shots.
With two minutes to go, a great through ball found its way to Luke McMahon who hammered home to make it 2-0. Within a minute of the restart Luke McMahon scored his second and Rovers third, putting the game well and truely beyond a brave Forest side, when Matt Williams hit a long high ball from the center spot, which Luke expertly headed over the keeper.
This was a well fought close game, with both sides playing good football and competing for every ball, it was the hardest 3 points that Rovers have had to fight for so far this season but in the end they were able to maintain their excellent 100% start to the season.
Rovers A - Sam Goodchild, Bradley Vanstone, Josh Vallender, Matt Hartshorn, Ryan Couling, Callum Merchant, Matt Williams, Luke McMahon, Ross Martin.
