Tough times..

Aldershot & Farnham 8/9~ (soz, lost count!) -0 Yateley

The U16 boys took on the well polished and experienced Aldershot and Farnham side this morning.

With availability being particularly challenging this week for the U16 boys (almost a third of the squad absent), we had the support of 3 of the U14 boys in true Yateley club spirit. Thank you to Josh, Sam and Liam for playing up.

We knew it was going to be a tough game from the start, and the boys did well to hold off any goals for the first 10 minutes.

The defence worked tirelessly hard to keep the oppo out of the D and our goal, but with some smooth short corner tactics and quick passing, they managed to sink a few past us.

Sammy (Man of the match) made some amazing saves, and certainly deserved his award.

The boys fought hard and worked their socks off, but unfortunately we didn't manage to get any goals on the score sheet this time.

Well done to all the boys, we may have lost this game, but you did your best and held your heads high. Onwards and upwards for the next match on 25th November at home.

Big thank you also to Darren Skinner for umpiring the match for us :-)
