Year 7 Football

The Year 7 football team played their Lancashire Cup group stage tournament last night. In the opening game they faced Primet and struggled to get into their rhythm despite scoring early in the first half with a good strike from Oscar. In the 2nd half a further goal from Charlie meant a 2-0 victory. Fishermore than beat Primet 3-0 meaning the Park v Fishermore game would decide the winner.

A much improved performance in this game meant we were on the front foot from the start, closing down the opposition and not giving them a chance to play. The midfield of Beau, Dom and Zayden supported Charlie in attack and put Fishermore under pressure at every opportunity. We created a number of chances and deservedly led 1-0 at half time. In the 2nd half a superb long range strike from Oscar lobbed the keeper and gave us a 2-0 lead. From this point Fishermore tried to comeback but at the back Arthur stayed strong to keep chances to a minimum and when there were chances goalkeeper Logan dealt with them comfortably. Reggie came off the bench and troubled the defenders with his non-stop approach and Jacob came on to provide some extra protection at the back.

We did concede a goal in the final minute but ended the game as 2-1 winners and progress to the next ground. Well done to the boys on a great performance.
