Nippy youngsters win the points

Southampton 5-2 Yateley

On a wet and windy Saturday, Yateley travelled down to Southampton for this weeks fixture.

The game started evenly with both teams getting chances to open up the scoring. But the University side was the first to break the deadlock with a nice deflected goal. 1-0 University of Southampton. But having been in that situation a few times this season Yateley didn’t panic and continued to create chances. A nice aerial ball from the back found an unlikely recipient in James Moore who had managed to get himself in a very advanced position. With a nice one two pass with Pig, James Moore found Luke Powell who calmly placed it in the goal. 1-1. A now exuberant Yateley found themselves with a short corner after more good play from Craig Boorman. Faith was turned to Doug Joyce, much to the dismay of Liam Roper, Doug dragged the ball of the postman’s foot and into the goal. 2-1 Yateley!! As the game went on the Yateley team grew tired which allowed a youthful University team to take the upper hand. A goal from a short corner and a back post tap in put University of Southampton 3-2 up at half time.

A strong half time talk from Dazza Collins rallied the troops for the second half. Yateley started well and increased the pressure on the Southampton defence. Some chance were created but ultimately didn’t lead to any further goals for Yateley. The young side took advantage of some weary and tired legs putting another two goals past keeper Darren Cresswell. One from a short corner and another deflected goal. 5-2 was the end result. Score line doesn’t reflect the game but Yateley were second best.

Man of the Match was James Moore for his efforts in the first goal and all round play in the midfield. We go again next week for a vital game against Bournemouth.
