On Sunday 20th November the C team played in the Oxford Festival on a cold and wet morning at Oxford Brookes.
We had high hopes of doing well as we had a good team, and thye were keen to play. The team being of an equal level as our A & B teams, for which we are lucky that we can do this.
The first match was against Hawks A and we came out of the blocks really fast and Charlie had us 2-0 up in matter of the first 3 minutes with some great finishes. Keiran then scored his first of the day, quickly followed Claydon scoring 2, to make it 5-0 to us, and no way back for Hawks. A great result.
The next match was against Thame A and this match did not go to plan, as they parked the Bus (packed the D) Chelsea style. However eventually our constant pressure on their D and goal, resulted in our only goal of the match which was deflected in by Bella Howells at the back post from a strong shot of Charlie's. This being Bella's first U10 goal resulting in high 5's with Charlie and the team. We came out 1-0 winners.
Our third match was against a strong Banbury A team who gave as good as we did, however with Claydon on the scoresheet twice, along with goals from Charlie & Keiran we ran out 4-0 comfortable winners.
Our final match was against Oxford B and they were keen to stop us from winning all our group matches, but again we controlled the match, with Claydon and Kieran scoring another goal each, and Charlie 2 more, we won comfortably 4-0.
A great all round performance by all, and special mention to Bella, Hannah and Dominic for their improvement in their play this season.
Goal Scorers. Bella 1, Charlie 5, Claydon 5 and Kieran 3.
