St Andrew’s Jets Under 9’s

League match 02/04/11

Adlington Aces 1- 1 Jets

The third draw in a row for the Jets! In a close contest away at Adlington.

The first half was very even, neither team managing to score. Adam L had a couple of half chances that were saved. Late on, Aaron had the best chance of the half, James passing to him free on the left, unfortunately he scuffed it just wide of the post. At the other end Oliver had a good reaction save, tipping a shot against the bar and dealt well with a few long range efforts.

A similar pattern followed in the second half, until Ted caught hold of a ball cleared out of defence by Adlington and smacked it in the top of the net from well out. Adlington came back to equalise quickly after, with a good goal. The game then tightened up with few chances for either side, Oliver dealing well with any loose balls in his area. Just at the end Liam managed to break clear from the Jets’ half, but could not manage a full strength shot at full stretch and under pressure from a defender, the Adlington keeper saving it.

Scorers: Ted, 1

MoM: Ted for a great strike and effort in midfield.
