The Yellows were facing Buxton Young Bucks U11’s at Glossopdale in a late Sunday kick-off.
The team had trained well the previous Monday and the coaches wanted to see them bring this level of energy and commitment into the game.
As the game started, the wet weather was making the ball move quickly and this suited Buxton with their forwards finding space and creating some early chances.
Our goalkeeper Zac was being forced to make some brilliant early saves, but it was too easy for the opposition so some changes were made and this made a difference. All of a sudden the Yellows were getting back into the game, winning the ball back and using the space down both wings to start to test the Buxton goalkeeper. Lucas, Angus, Robbie and Sami were at the heart of this with their relentless running.
As the game started to even out, the half-time whistle went. A rest and a reminder to the team about playing to their strengths and they were fired up for the second half.
What followed was the most exciting, chaotic and edge of your seat halves of football we’ve seen this season! It had absolutely everything - end to end football, chances for both teams, brilliant passing and every player giving 100%.
Both Jack and Henry grew in confidence with some excellent tackling, Oscar and Fletcher’s work rate was awesome and Riley was playing some excellent forward passes.
A huge cheer from everyone at full-time - both sets of players, coaches and all of the spectators. An amazing game, played in the right way and a great advert for the High Peak JFL.
