Southmoor Comprehensive v Dene Community School
First away game of the season new team to play against and with a couple of key players out Dene started the match well.
Playing an attacking 4-4-2 formation and playing into a uphill wind the game was in control Kane Iceton slotting past the keeper to put Dene ahead. went close on several attacks the closest a glaring miss comparable to that of, Fernando Torres, by Regan Taylor should have put us 2-0 up this never disturbed his mind and he volleyed home from close range after good work by Gething.
Sloppy work at the back let in the Southmoor boys to get a goal back which was soon cancelled out by a magnificent curling effort from 25 yards out by hardworking David Mcloud. Dene went into the 2nd half 3-1 up with the wind and back for the 2nd half it was inevitable there would be more goals.
Joe bell was pushed u the field with Jordan Fenwick sitting to partner Peter Moore at the back, Joe with all the tricks of George best jinked his way into the box on the left hand side to coolly slot into the far corner with ease. 4-1 should have seen us to the end but 2 mistakes from the usually dependable Kidman saw the score pegged back to 4-3. Gething went clean through and was stopped by a great save when it looked easier to score we then attacked deep in their half, good work by Kirkbride who replaced Mcloud saw Iceton score his 2nd and Denes 5th.
15 minutes to go and the industrious Joe Bell grabbed his 2nd a carbon copy of his first. Dene were awarded a penalty which the keeper save from Gething who rammed the deflected save into the corner taking Dene 7-3 up. It was all one way traffic and the score could easily have been more. 2 wins from 2 for the y10 boys is the start we wanted and will install a confident team to take on Thornhill next week.
Joe Bell was given the Man of the Match award which no one could have argued against.
