Inter Pro Green turned in a commanding performance at the Hapton Recreation Ground, securing a well-earned 6–3 victory over Hapton Juniors U12 Hurrica. From start to finish, they dominated possession, showed tactical maturity, and outclassed their opponents across the park.
Lining up in a 3-1-4-2 formation, Inter Pro Green built on a solid defensive spine and an energetic midfield. Cooper Brown started in goal, shielded by Kadhim Edan, Laurentiu Catavel, and Orin Earnshaw. Tyler (on loan from the Reds) slotted into central midfield, adding control and structure. The wider midfield saw Aseel Jouher, Jasper Edwards, Oscar Casey, and Arlie Holden pushing the tempo, with Charlie Brown partnering Jasper up top.
Substitutes included Jensen, Lawy Hassan, and Noah Evans, all of whom played important roles as the match unfolded.
Inter Pro Green started on the front foot. In the 6th minute, Arlie Holden fired a speculative effort just over the bar, showing early intent. Two minutes later, Kadhim Edan went close with a driven shot wide of the post. The breakthrough came in the 9th minute, when Kadhim—ever dominant in the air—powered home a header to put Green 1–0 ahead.
Hapton responded quickly, equalising in the 11th minute with a sharp free-kick. But Inter Pro Green didn’t flinch. In the 12th minute, Arlie made an intelligent long pass to initiate a counterattack and keep the pressure on.
At the 15-minute mark, Jensen replaced Arlie Holden in midfield—and his impact was immediate. His calm passing and incisive through balls began to open Hapton up, adding another dimension to Inter Pro Green's attack.
In the 19th minute, Lawy Hassan came on for Oscar Casey, followed by Noah Evans replacing Charlie Brown in the 20th minute. These changes brought fresh legs and maintained Green’s control in midfield.
In the 22nd minute, Tyler made a crucial clearance, Jasper followed up with a clean tackle, and Kadhim Edan then stepped in with another defensive intervention. The backline was sharp, organized, and aggressive.
Then in the 25th minute, it was Kadhim again—leaping highest to meet a corner and score his second header of the match. His dominance in the air and timing on set-pieces was simply unplayable.
In the 37th minute, Jensen unlocked the Hapton defence with a line-breaking pass. Jasper Edwards made a perfectly timed run, collected the ball, and volleyed home clinically to make it 4–1. It was a textbook combination of movement and creativity.
Just eight minutes into the second half, Inter Pro Green struck again. A well-worked move resulted in a low driven shot from distance—later credited to Jensen—bringing the score to 5–1 and capping off another strong passage of play initiated through midfield.
Hapton pulled one back in the 49th minute, but Green continued rotating smartly. At the 50-minute mark, Kadhim Edan re-entered for Orin Earnshaw, Jasper came back on for Charlie Brown, and Laurentiu Catavel replaced Aseel Jouher.
Kadhim continued to marshal the defence, with key tackles in the 55th and 57th minutes. His reading of the game and aerial presence kept Hapton’s attackers at bay.
In the 61st minute, Jasper Edwards scored again—this time with a neat header from close range after excellent build-up play involving Jensen and Tyler. The chemistry and positional awareness from the attacking midfielders was clear.
Though Hapton found the net once more in the 67th minute, Inter Pro Green never lost their grip. Cooper Brown stood tall, making reflex saves in the 63rd and 73rd minutes, while Noah Evans cleared confidently late on.
