Almondsbury Youth Fc 9s v

Yate Utd U9s

Match Overall 

A competent, credible and encouraging performance saw AYFC U9s just edged out of the fixture 7-8 due to late goals in both games. With only 7 players available in each team the lads were exceptional and were a credit to themselves and their families with some fast, exciting football being played. Well done to all.

A new shape Eagles team took on Yate Utd B with great vigor and determination and despite conceding 2 early goals the Eagles never gave up. Mathew Barker was tireless in midfield and was ably supported by the hard working and creative Danny Seymour in the centre. Despite being three down at half time the lads were always positive and were rewarded with a goal from a stunning Callum Finn free-kick on 22 min. Taylor Wright continued to press and was rewarded with a fortunate goal, where goaline technology would have benefitted, to bring it to 2-3. Between the sticks Haydon Somers made some great stops with Joe Mortimore and Adam Thorne providing great defending. But as the game went on and with the absence of subs,  we tired slightly with Yate ceasing the opportunity to  score twice and finally making it 6-2 in the dying seconds with us having to rue an overall 7-8 defeat. Well done to Yate for a close, competitive and enjoyable match and well done to the Eagles for their determination and grit.
