PS Olympic U13 South 4 vs 3 Avery FC Lions

Don't know what to say!!

What a performance with only 8 players...

The energy and passion that all 8 lads gave was amongst the best I've seen us.

We were on the backfoot for the 1st few minutes but we scored against the run of play.Once we did that it looked effortless,we were soon 2-0 up with Kieron grabbing his 2nd goal with a sublime 25yd chip over the keeper. We kept at it but we're caught out on the break with Tyler making a brilliant double save but the rebound fell nicely to their forward to score,that was half time.

The lads were so tired after that 1st half but remained focused and positive.

2nd half Kieran basically burst into their area to smash home his hat-rick,moments later they pulled one back to make it 3-2.

Kieran was pulled down in the box midway through the 2nd half and was a penalty.

Kieran was cool and slotted it in the left hand corner so that's his fourth goal of the match.

They pulled one back with 5 mins to go and we looked dead on our feet.Last minute their striker rounded 2 defenders and Tyler to score...but wait a full stretch saving clearance off the line from Ryan saved the day.Final score 4-3 to us,amazing achievement from all 8 lads.Here are the match ratings

Tyler H 10 Finley 10 Ryan 10 Bodie 10 Tyler C 10 Joe 10 Kian 10 Kieran 11/10 ??
