Brierley Cubs U14 Yellow kicked off their summer league campaign in style with a thrilling 9–5 victory over Warren in what was an entertaining, high-energy encounter from start to finish.
With the domestic league title already secured, the pressure was well and truly off, and it showed in the way the lads approached the game. There was a real sense of freedom about their play—sharp passing, confident movement, and plenty of attacking intent. It didn’t take long for the goals to start flowing, with Bennie opening the scoring before Aiden, Kai and Harry all got in on the act. Kai was in particularly fine form, grabbing a superb hat-trick, while Tyler, Alfie and Logan also added their names to the scoresheet to cap off a dominant attacking display.
Despite the scoreline, Warren played their part in a very competitive fixture, pushing forward well and testing us at times. It made for a proper game of football, played in great spirit by both sides, with plenty of quality on show.
More than anything, this match felt like a celebration even whilst on holiday. After a long, hard-fought domestic season, the boys were able to relax, express themselves and simply enjoy their football—and that’s exactly what they did. The smiles on their faces said it all.
At full time, the celebrations continued as the team marked their league triumph in style, with flares out and plenty of cheering as they soaked in the moment together. A brilliant way to start the summer league.
Man of the Match went to Alfie, who edged out hat-trick hero Kai thanks to his outstanding attitude and versatility, playing in nearly every position and giving 100% throughout. A top performance and fully deserved recognition.
