Huntingtower Vs Harlaxton Football Game

Last Friday, 14th March, Huntingtower football team travelled to Harlaxton Primary School.

On a small and narrow pitch, Huntingtower had at least 8 shots, with the Harlaxton goalkeeper in fine form keeping the ball from entering his net and was by far their player of the match.

Phylan, our goal keeper, had very little to do in the first half, making one save in 20 minutes but then was tested a couple of times in the second half, but yet again he showed no fear in making sure the ball stayed out of our net!  Joshua and James worked extremely hard in defence and saw both of them having their best performance ever for Huntingtower.   Joshua was solid in his tackles and played some lovely balls up to Max which two of the goals were started by Joshua and every time James got the ball, he played the ball to our midfielders feet with one/two touch passing and being very composed on the ball.  Piotrek had yet another solid performance, a work engine who will run all day for you, he will win the first and second balls and involves all his team mates in the game.  Sammy, Hubert and Max had a steady performance, Hubert scoring the first goal with his left foot making it 1 - 0 at half time and Max scoring twice in the second half to end the game with a 3-1 win which of course could have been a lot more if not for their goalkeeper having an outstanding game.

Overall, a very pleasing performance from Huntingtower, they passed, worked well as a team and I hope we can continue this with our next match against Long Bennington Primary School (date to be arranged).

A big “thank you” must go to Miss Harkins and Mr Ward for taking the children to and from the game.                         Mrs Duxbury-Mead
