With this in mind, before face we knew that Timperley were certainly one of the better teams in the U14s this season, and we were in for a game today.
Interesting was how the game took shape, with Timperley winning at Face and we found ourselves a goal behind. We moved the ball well and missed a couple of early chances giving our visitors another opportunity at the other end, and after about 5 or 6 minutes we found ourselves 2 down. What was most pleasing was the attitude of the players, not getting on each others back, not moaning at everything which didn't pay off, they just got their head down and improved the way they were playing. And with a very entertaining, strong quarter from both players, we crept into the lead at the end of the quarter, and it finished 4-3.
Quarter 2 wasn't to different from Q1, evenly contested face offs, evenly contested in attack and defence and 2 good keepers on display, it was pleasing to see that we managed to get a little bit of breathing space on our visitors with a 3-1 quarter.
Q3 and Q4 finished 3-2 and 2-1 in our favour giving us a 12-7 victory on the day.
6 of our 12 goals were assisted today, and some of the goals were absolutely terrific, end to end, quick movement and good finishing.
Scorers today Jacob B (2), Hugo (4), Rhys (2), Luca (4), but could have been more with the Stockport boys a little wasteful in front of goal with a total of 30 shots today. Assists go to Jacob B, Hugo (2), Rhys George and Luca.
Special mention to the defence, who continue to improve at a remarkable rate, and after 4 games we found ourselves only conceding 13 goals.
