Charnock Ridgeway v Hoyland Falcons
It was fantastic to be back on home turf for our first cup qualifier, and the team certainly made it count.
Charnock started the game full of energy, immediately putting Hoyland under pressure with a number of early chances that just missed the target. The teamwork on display was excellent, with some great passing keeping Hoyland’s defence on their toes.
The breakthrough came when George delivered a superb corner into the box, and Fearne met it perfectly with an outstanding volley to find the back of the net ⚽️
Hoyland responded with determination, they created several strong attacks, but our defence stood firm making crucial interventions to keep our lead intact.
Theo then made a brilliant run into the box and was brought down, earning the team a penalty. Showing great composure, Theo stepped up and confidently slotted the ball home ⚽️
Hoyland continued to push forward, but our keeper Jacob was in top form, making a series of excellent saves to keep us firmly in control of the game.
Another spell of impressive passing led to our third goal, with Fearne once again finding the net ⚽️
Overall, Charnock delivered a fantastic team performance, showing great determination, skill, and togetherness throughout. Every player should be incredibly proud of their efforts 👏🏻
On to the next round of the cup!
