⚽ MATCH REPORT | Weetabix League Division 3 U13s
Corby Warriors Hurricanes U13s 0–3 Irchester Romans U13s
The first game of the season saw the Hurricanes travel to Irchester Romans, and despite the final score, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance.
The Hurricanes started brightly, playing some really good football and creating chances. However, the Irchester defence did a good job of keeping our opportunities largely to efforts from distance.
As the half progressed, Irchester began to find some space behind our high defensive line, but Oscar in goal was equal to the task, making a couple of smart saves to keep the score level.
Half-time: 0–0
The second half started a little scrappily. On 45 minutes, Irchester continued to press and capitalised on a defensive mistake to take the lead, making it 0–1.
Just five minutes later, another mistake allowed the Irchester striker to win the ball just outside the area, and he finished well to make it 0–2.
With 15 minutes remaining, the Hurricanes were chasing the game but continued to play some really good football. The ball dropped in the area for Max, who finished brilliantly, only for the referee to award a foul on a defender before Max got to the ball. The goal was disallowed, and it remained 0–2.
The Hurricanes regrouped and went again. Thomas found the net, but unfortunately his run was mistimed and the goal was ruled out for offside.
Still pushing forward and searching for a way back into the game, the Hurricanes were caught by Irchester’s pace on the counter. Their striker broke through and made it 0–3.
Sometimes football can be a cruel game. The Hurricanes enjoyed the better of the possession for around three-quarters of the match and created plenty of opportunities, but unfortunately came away empty-handed.
There are plenty of positives to take from the performance, and the boys will dust themselves off, learn from it and go again. 💪⚽
Unlucky, Hurricanes — keep your heads up!
👏 Well done to Henry on being named Man of the Match!
