Match Report: So after a warm up at Hazo in the morning, Blues faced the 11.2’s having put 6 past the Hawks. They were keen and looking forward to the challenge, and it was a beautiful afternoon at Knapsack for the game.

Game started fairly evenly, Ben and Mason up front had a couple of chances but it was the 11’s who took their chance and led 1-0. 11’s then started to dominate and broke well, putting pressure onto the Blues defence. Blues pulled their defence deep to stop the attack from getting in behind and it worked well. Just before half time they put together a great move from their goal line down the left, Harry M crossed in on his left foot and Mason finished to make it 1-1 at half time.

Second half we regrouped but again the quick break allowed 11’s to take a lead. Blues then really applied the pressure and just seemed to have a little more gas in the tank than their opponents. They pulled the lead back through a smart move and it was 2-2! Blues started to really apply themselves and Connor G made a few great saves whilst the defence handled the attackers very well. At the other end Mason and Wil had a couple of chances and really should have put the game to bed.

In the end it came down to a free kick. Harry M stepped up 20 metres out and one of the parents muttered something about fitting if he could end the season in style for us. I kept my mouth shut not wanting to give it the coaches curse. So in it flew from 20 metres, spot on when it mattered. And that was a fitting end to a great season for Harry and the Blues. 3-2 it finished!

Well done to all parents and kids, our ref Mick, its been a blast! All the best for the grading and your future careers at the Mountains FC. The last two years the coach has learnt a huge amount, and hopefully the kids did as well!
