Buckland Athletic Under 8's 1 v 6 Newton ‘66 Under 8's

The result suggest a very one sided game. In truth it was very close until the second half and once again the compliments paid to the way we play football from the opposition is as pleasing as the result was disappointing. With 2/3's of our defenders away on holiday we tried a 1-4-1 formation which worked for the first 10 minutes, Dan Fawcett battling tirelessly at the back assisted by keeper Sam Palmer. The midfield quartet of Jacob Cole, Liam Price, Mat Findlay and Jamie Brown were linking together well but without creating the usual chances at goal. Corey Price, playing in his customary striker role made some good runs but with the size of the opposition didn't really get a ‘sniff' in front of goal.

Newton '66 were full of running and took the lead midway through the first half and then doubled the lead on the stroke of half time. The half time interval saw Cameron Clement and Jack Palmer introduced. The heat was sapping the energy of the midfield runners. The goal of the game came when '66 made it 3 – 0 with a rasping left footed drive from the angle found the top corner. The visitors then completed the rout. The Bucks goal came from Jack with almost the last kick of the game.

Man of the Match : Jacob Cole
