Special Report - Tigers U13 5-2 Sandbach U13

..from our roving reporter, Steve!

Goal 1 , Rhys was put through with excellent ball by George Papa , Rhys rounded goalie and slotted in, middle of pitch was quagmire but we fought our way through and George put another excellent ball through to Rhys who again cooly slotted it past the keeper.

Sandbach came back at us and lobbed a high one over Eddie in to the roof of net to make it 2-1 . We were awarded a free kick 20 yds out on left side of box with Gary and Steve telling Luke to take it , we told BIG BEN to stand in front of sandbach goalie , and Luke just hit it into top right corner Unstoppable .

Then Sandbach missed a succession of chances , only for Rhys to break and be pulled down for a penalty. After much discussion Jordon Batho took penalty but Sandbach goalie dived to his left to save . Still 3-1 .

Second half Luke took a quality corner in to the danger area it hit the sandbach defender and went over the line although it was already going in so Luke was credited with goal no 2. Then after lots of missed chances Josh brought the ball down and from a tight angle hammered home from left side of goal, 5-1 .

Sandbach eventually scored after pin ball in our area we never cleared it and they had a shot from edge of area to make it 5-2 . Excellent hard working performance but Eddie goalie was given the golden boot for M-O-M after a string of good saves.

the whole team fought for each other and played really well.
