: Oxford City Colts U11 Match Report
: 23rd September 2007
:
: Oxford City Colts 4 – Horspath 1
:
: Following away wins at Benson and Didcot,
: this was our first home league match of the
: season. A lunchtime start ensured nobody was
: late and everyone was wide awake on a
: blustery late summer’s day. Still new to
: 11-a-side football, Colts were full of
: confidence after their recent away success
: and so Coach Roger Cherry continued with the
: boys playing in positions which had worked
: well in previous matches.
:
: Colts started strongly and immediately
: threatened the Horspath goal. After only
: four minutes they took the lead through Liam
: Williams. Following a cross from the left
: the chance to shoot appeared to have gone
: when Liam picked up the ball on the right
: hand edge of the box, beat a defender and
: drilled it into the far corner. Rather than
: sitting back on their lead, Colts continued
: to press, winning numerous corners and after
: 10 minutes they scored again. A well worked
: corner from the left was turned in by Harvey
: Comely to double the lead.
:
: The rest of the first half was dominated by
: the Colts as Horspath, playing into a strong
: wind, struggled to get the ball out of their
: own half. When they did, the Colts defence,
: who worked well together, ensured the ball
: went straight back. The pressure was
: converted into a third goal just before the
: break when a poor clearance came to the feet
: of Adam Martin just outside the penalty
: area. With no-one to pass to he struck a
: crisp shot into the top right hand corner
: past the helpless Horspath keeper. Another
: excellent goal to thrill the home
: supporters.
:
: At half time the team was rotated with Roger
: bringing on all the substitutes. Horspath,
: now playing with the wind, looked more
: dangerous but were still unable to breach
: the solid Colts defence. With Horspath
: coming more into the game the Colts midfield
: had to work hard to win possession and it
: was encouraging to see the boys fighting to
: get first to the ball. A number of fine
: passing moves helped restore Colts dominance
: and once again pin Horspath back in their
: own half.
:
: Half way through the second period Colts
: were awarded a free kick 25 yards from the
: Horspath goal on the left hand side. A clean
: strike from Bradley Rowbotham was too good
: for both the onrushing Colts attack and the
: Horspath defence ending up in the back of
: the net. Another fantastic goal and yet
: another candidate for goal of the season.
:
: In the last five minutes a tiring Colts
: defence lost concentration. A cross from the
: right flicked Bradley’s boot and gave Reece
: Horwood no chance to stop Horspath scoring a
: consolation goal. Overall this was another
: impressive performance from the boys who are
: learning quickly how to play this new style
: of football. Finally many thanks to Tony
: Beeches for refereeing and Andy and Jason
: for running the line in another excellent
: game played in the right spirit by both
: teams.
:
: Team: J Russell, A Martin, B Rowbotham, M
: White B Muinami, W Beechers, L Williams, H
: Comley, C Wood, D Dennis T Walker subs R
: Horwood, G Cherry, J Roberson, C Adams
: Man of the Match: 1st half T Walker, 2nd
: half W Beeches
