St Andrew’s Jets Under 9’s

Pre-Season Friendly 21/08/10

Irlam Vale 0 – 9 Jets

A big improvement for the Jets over the first pre-season friendly, the whole team being up for it from the start , showing a lot of commitment and skill. After a lot of pressure and chances in the first 10 mins Adam L opened the scoring, getting on a long pass from Adam B. Adam B then scored with a long range strike, followed by Adam L again, then Ted with a penalty, after being chopped down in front of goal and Adam L again. There was also some good defensive work with a great save in the top corner by Oliver, from a good Irlam free kick and a header off the line by Aiden, who also put in some great tackles.

Although 5 up at half time, the Jets continued to play well in the second half against strong play from Irlam.  Adam B scored again, followed by Adam L who converted a rebound off the bar from an overhead kick by James. Ted then scored with a header at the near post, from a corner by James, going in off an Irlam defender. James then scored the last. Again there was some good defending to keep the clean sheet, Liam, Adam B and Aaron all doing well covering for Joel, who was on holiday. Oliver also had another good save when Irlam were clean through, just tipping it over the bar.

Scorers: Adam L, 4; Adam B, 2; Ted, 2; James, 1

MoM: Whole team
