Winshill Green's Under 9's took to the field today for their 2nd pre-season friendly - following on from their 6-3 win in their debut match on Thursday.
Today in the lovely Horninglow sunshine their opponents were another who will be in their same division next season, Outwoods Hawks.
The team was: Jakub, Dejaun, Maciej, Archie, Hassan, Natan, Lucas, Harvey (borrowed from the golds)
Outwoods Hawks was a step up for the team - as they are an established team unlike their last opponents and on a smaller pitch which hadn't been cut recently both teams found it difficult.
The game ended as it started - 0-0 - With Winshill's best chances falling to Dejaun (from his own half), Lucas, Natan and a couple for Maciej - who could have won it with the last kick of the game - but a great performance against an established team.
Jakub made one super stop in the 1st third, Lucas likewise when he went in goal. Harvey was at his brilliant best breaking up play and putting passes together - Natan - again excellent - his work rate is second to none and was so unlucky at the end not to win it. Archie made some encouraging runs and did well when asked to play in the unfamiliar role of defence.
Next match is the Charity Cup on Sunday 3rd September.
Sunday? No one called up for international duty?
