Coventry Copeswood Titans 3-3 Athletic Sparta U14’s
Penultimate game of the season took us back to our bogey ground at Cov Copeswood for an afternoon kick off against 3rd placed Titans
The afternoon couldnt have got off to a worst start with us conceding a pen in the 1st minute, which in fairness, was despatched perfectly.
But, like against Cov Utd a few weeks before, we dont lie down and always looked a threat going forward and a defensive mix up gave Osker the simple chance to equalise
Titans got a bit of luck with the bounce of the ball to take the lead just before HT and it was then batten down the hatches to get in at HT, especially after losing top scorer Lenny to an injury.
A good HT chat and a change in formation brought a 2nd half performance that was one of the best of the season. Every player putting that extra % in to really take the game to them and was rewarded with a brave Ethan Dickerson header from a great Keegan cross
Spartans sniffing a victory, kept pushing and we were rewarded which without doubt goes straight in as goal of the season from Oskar ( Just glad someone got it on video!) A goal that got all players, coaches and parents talking about from both sides after the game! It deserved to be the winner but.....
Last minute a long ball caught us on our heals and the striker somehow manged to loop it over Hodgey and despite desperate attempts to clear it, it snuck in.
These kids just keep giving and as the season draws to an end, we can only look back at pride at how far we have come as a group. Togetherness, friendship and bloody good footballers!

POTM
Oskar
Really tough one today as Ethan (Dicko) had his best game today with his relentless running and composer, especially playing in a unfamiliar roll up front once Lenny went off
But...when someone scores a worldie like that and is constantly on at the defence, that they are panicking everytime they get the ball, it has to be Oskar.
