Sunday 20th March: U16 v Stratton Youth

The team bounced back well with a fine effort from all the players to narrowly defeat Stratton. The wind played a big factor in the scoring in the match, with the first four goals at the same end: Frank headed powerfully to give us the lead, before Luke was brought down and successfully converted the resultant penalty.

Stratton came back strongly after the break and eventually drew level. The response was perfect though as, first Jonny was denied a goal, before Will scored the winner.

Squad: Luke, Oli, Will, Toby, James, Adam, Matt J, Jonny L, Frank, Dom, Jonathon N, Jack, Matt R (captain) and Dan
