Sunday 9th March: U13 v Northleach (with photos)








Incredibly this match ended up with exactly the same result as the home match just before Christmas - a 5-5 draw. Again Wanborough started slowly, giving Northleach a three goal headstart, before Matt R pulled a goal back and then set up an own goal. Northleach scored again before half time to lead 4-2.

The second half produced a much better team effort with Matt R gaining a hat trick and Luke scoring too. There could have been more goals, but the post got in the way twice and it was Northleach who scored last again to equalise. Either team could have won the match in the end, with Matt J making a superb tackle in the last couple of minutes to deny their striker a shot on goal. The whole team played extremely well in the second half and deserves credit.

Jonathon gave the Captain's award to Matt R, whilst Luke won the Coaches' award for his goal mouth action. Many thanks to this week's "Club Photographer" for his excellent action shots!

Squad: Toby, Dan, Matt J, Oli B, Dom, Will, Chris, Jack, Oli H, Lewis, Matt R, Luke and Jonathon
