💚🖤⚽️ Dunlop Fc u11's Green Fall in End to End Game ⚽️🖤💚
Dunlop Fc u11's Green last sunday travelled to Lillington and played out a very entertaining game for all. Dunlop started the game on the front foot and went into an early lead when Rocco managed to beat the keeper to the ball and play it through for Owen to tap in. Lillington then began to find their feet in the game and before we knew it, Dunlop were behind going into the break.
Lillington have some very quick and tricky wide players and our half time talk was to tell the team just to be patient when defending and not "dive in" to challenges.
Dunlop started the strongest again in the second half and immediately Theo found Owen with a great through ball, Owen calmly slotted into the far corner for his second of the game.
Very quickly after this, Lillington managed to score again. But this seemed to pump Dunlop up,
Dunlop piled on the pressure and managed to win a corner, Theo swung in a brilliant cross for Noah to meet at the far post with a thumping header. Again however, Lillington went and scored another to keep their lead intact.
Dunlop came back again though when Theo was fouled in the box for a penalty, he calmly stepped up and smashed it home.
A real end to end affair that Dunlop just couldn't come out on top of but the attacking play at times was superb and something we've been working on, so it's pleasing to see that come out in the lads on the pitch.
Goals this week were scored by:
⚽️⚽️ Owen
⚽️ Noah
⚽️ Theo (p)
⭐️ Star Player this week:
This weeks Star player was discussed with the players and every single person was agreed, Owen, he had worked tirelessly all game, he had made some wonderful attacking runs and was a handful for Lillington the whole match. Well done Owen.
