The Whole Team

Gonerby Reds were very unfortunate not to get a share of the points against The Yellows on sunday in a game that was a credit to both teams.People seem to forget Gonerby Reds are only an under 7 team but they out battled there opponents for most of the game only to lose to a late goal.
In the first period the game was evenly matched with both teams having early chances but both were squandered,Benjamin Barretto in the Gonerby Reds goal was kept busy dealing with shots and crosses but never looked like being beaten.Thomas Andersen and Jonathan Law were tackling hard in midfield and not allowing the Yellows players any time on the ball.When the the Yellows broke Liam Clamp along side Keaton Willis stood firm to keep the score 0.0 at the break.
The second period followed the same pattern as the first with Gonerby Yellows going close on occasions but never troubled Barretto in the Reds goal.Lewis Daff and Alex Geeson combined well to set up Nathan Lane with a chance for the Reds but good defending stopped his effort.Again the Reds battled hard in midfield not allowing the Yellows to play any football at all.
In the third quarter the Yellows struck the woodwork and then went close on 2 more occasions and then at the other end Law went clear but shot wide after good work again from Andersen and Daff.The reds defence stood firm to some pressure with Clamp and Barretto doing really well at the back.
Going into the final 10 minutes both teams tried to win the game Andersen down the right and Lane down the left pushed forward trying to create chances for Law and Geeson but neither were taken.With five minutes left the deadlock was broken Gonerby Reds failed to clear the ball and were punished when the ball was fired home by Hubbard the Yellows striker.Barretto went close in the final moments for the Reds but his shot was saved by the Yellows keeper.The final whistle went and both sets of parents gave both teams a round of applause on a great game of football
Man of the Match this week was impossible to pick with all 8 of the Reds producing great performances,considering the age difference and with 2 of the Reds still 6 years old,to run one of the best under 8 team in the area so close was a credit to all involved.
