Carlton juniors weekend roundup ⚽️⚽️
Under 10 ⚪️’s progress to the next round of the cup. Carlton played Middleton in hard fought game with both teams showing grit and determination. The coaches asked the boys to return to the basics of football, and they did not disappoint, with some fantastic team play, leading to some great goals. The boys all supported each other and stayed positive throughout. Onto the next round. ⚽️ 🏆
Under 12 ⚪️ made the short trip to play Wakefield Jets in what was a great game of grassroots football, Carlton took the lead early on only to go 2-1 behind, however the boys never gave up and kept pushing for the equaliser which they managed to get with just a couple of minutes remaining for a final score of 2-2. Great game played in a good spirit with both teams giving their all. Well done boys great teamwork and determination 👏🏻👏🏻
Under 12 🔵 were in cup action again away from home against Altofts. The fourth game between the two sides this season… It was a cagey start by both teams but the Carlton boys grew into it and took the lead, Altofts hit back on the stroke of halftime to make it 1-1. A strong start to the second half saw the Carlton boys take the lead and relax which led to some lovely passing moves and goals. The defence backed up the attack and looked solid throughout. A good team performance sees us through to the next round with a 4-1 win. Well done boys 👏
U16
As the football cliche goes, this was definitely a game of two halves.
The first half was a good competitive game with the midfields of both sides working the hardest. The lads kept pushing and were finally rewarded for their efforts when we got a penalty. We slotted it home to go 1-0 up.
HSM came out fighting in the 2nd half and scored 2 quick goals early on in the 2nd half. The lads continued to compete but with only 11 players available, fatigue started to show.
HSM had the ability to make four changes every twenty minutes and bring fresh legs on in every position which made a big difference in the closing stages of the game.
The boys shouldn’t feel down as it was fatigue which got to them.
Heads up and we go again 👊👊⚽️⚽️
