Hitchin Town Tigers U10 v Bishops Stortford U10

Sunday, October 7 2007

From the moment the opening whistle blew it was an all-action match.

A few minutes into the first half saw an opening goal from Bishops Stortford. The Tigers kept their heads up and addressed the need to get a goal back. They settled down and created lots of pressure around the Stortford goal. At the other end of the pitch this half saw a couple of great saves by Connor. Oliver tried a shot on goal but was denied by their Keeper. There followed a fantastic shot by Chris, much fumbling around the goal and then further shots by Patrick and Chris. Patrick again hit the post, but no matter how aero-dynamic the play, the ball just refused to go into the Stortford goal. Half time saw the Tigers trailing 1-0.

The second half saw the Tigers apply relentless pressure from the start. Patrick scored with a courageous, diving header to level the score. In the Midfield the well-deserved ‘Man of the Match’ Christopher was all over the pitch, along with Chris and Danny creating lots of great opportunities. The Tigers defence was not put under too much pressure; however there was some great work by Antonio, Josh and Joe in goal when needed.

Danny tried a spectacular shot on goal towards the end of the half and a further couple of shots from Oliver refused to go in.  For the Tigers who had spent the half with the majority of the possession, having been denied several times, there finally came an exciting winning goal from Oliver.

The game finished with the Tigers deservedly claiming their 2 – 1 victory!

Result:  Hitchin Town Tigers – 2, Bishop Stortford - 1
