U12s - Match Report 6th September 2009

New Milton Town Robins 0 Broadstone FC 5

The Broadstone team were full of anticipation for the first game of the season and started well with a comprehensive 5 nil victory. The first 20 minutes were quite tense and despite strong wing play from Joe Holden Broadstone were foiled by the woodwork (twice) and a series of offsides (once they learn that offside rule things will be far easier). At the other end the defence was on top with Lewis King performing well on his debut, David Massieu-King and Will Hammond keeping the New Milton attack at bay.

Tom Wilson opened the scoring on 20 minutes with a powerful shot into the top corner. Nick Clarke then put Broadstone 2 nil up with a great run through the centre of the New Milton defence and a good finish from close range.

Broadstone started the second half where they had left off in the first and Tom Wilson scored the third goal with a clever lob. New Milton then came back and it took 2 fine saves from David Saunders to stop them reducing the deficit.

The fourth goal was a team goal with Tyler Gregory, Tom Wilson and Daniel (Ted) Chandler combining to create the chance for James Hegarty who belted it into the back of the net.

The final goal was a great solo effort from Ted whose powerful shot was too good for the New Milton goalkeeper. The game finished with Broadstone on top and the New Milton goal keeper had to make good saves from Jake Burke and Josh Hansford amongst others.

The game ended 5 nil and Lewis King was named man of the match for his strong defensive performance.

This was a great start to the season lads with a good performance, lots of goals and a clean sheet – let’s keep it going against Poppies on Tuesday night.
