🔵⚪️ The U11 Juniors hosted Ledbury Swifts in their first match after the Christmas break, and it didn’t take long for the action to unfold. Finnley J opened the scoring in the first minute, gliding past the Ledbury midfield and defense before finishing confidently. Just moments later, Oscar J doubled the lead, curling a shot into the corner.
Finnley continued to cause problems for Ledbury with his intelligent movement and ability to pick up the ball deep, while Flynn W and Theo E controlled the midfield. At the back, Romeo, Archie, Mali, and Louis were solid, dealing with any Ledbury counter-attacks.
By the 25-minute mark, Oscar J had netted a superb four goals, taking his season tally even higher, and the team went into halftime with a comfortable lead.
In the second half, with several changes made, the Juniors struggled to maintain their momentum. Ledbury, to their credit, kept battling hard and were rewarded with a well-executed goal from a pull-back at the byline.
However, the Juniors responded swiftly. Lucas P powered through and squared the ball for Charlie A, who calmly finished to complete the scoring.
The final whistle blew with a comfortable victory for the Juniors. A special mention goes to Finnley J, who was unplayable in the first half and caused chaos for Ledbury throughout and with that got a well deserved player of the match award. Well done, Finnley! 🔵⚪️
Good luck to Ledbury for the rest of the season!
