Riverside Blue u10 1
West Hallam u10 6
West Park Long Eaton
On a windy and cold morning these two in form promotion chasers met.
1st Half
Riverside were to start brightly with some good quick passing,however West Hallam got into
the game very soon after and with only 5 minutes gone Ellis White picked up the ball after
a misplaced pass and before the riverside goalkeeper had chance to set himself and the
defence had chance to react he hit a 1st time shot from just inside the oppositions half
which sailed into the top corner giving the keeper no chance a great goal 1-0.Then only a couple
of minutes after the kickoff Canvern who was superb thoughout for West Hallam played a great ball to Millen who scored
yet another trademark screamer with a fantastic shot which found the top corner after
looping over the keeper.West Hallam then began playing some amazing free flowing passing
football and showed some superb teamwork and fought for every ball.Riverside then had a
rare bit of posession and forced Adam to make a couple of really good saves.But West Hallam
held firm and began to press in order to get a 3rd but the whistle blew for the end of the
1st half.
2-0 West Hallam.
2nd Half
As the whistle went for the second half Riverside looked like they were up for getting back
into the game and had a bit of posession but West Hallam looked organised and Canvern was
running the show in the midfield for West Hallam and after a long shot by the ever strong and
steady figure of Dan Eardley which bounced over the keeper Ellis finished
with a lovely cushioned header 3-0.West Hallam were rampant and after more superb passing
play Aaron had a powerful shot which was to be saved well by the riverside goalkeeper
Ellis was on hand to tap for his in the rebound for his hatrick 4-0.After a great run forward beating
2 players left back Archie was to be brought down and Canvern was to go close with the
resulting freekick.West hallam continued to dominate in every area
after some more good build up Canvern got his reward for all his craft and graft with a
smartly took first time effort 5-0.As the game drew to a close Riverside won a freekick on
the edge of the box which was hammered home and left the ever impressive Adam with no chance.
But just before the final whistle Riley was rewarded for his constant hard work with a good
shot which out foxxed the keeper and ended up in the top corner a great strike.
The scoring finished there with the scores at 6-1 which was no more than West Hallam deserved
with a great time effort by all and some brilliant football.
Well done to all the boys,and to Jay and the coaches for there ability to get this
level of performance from the whole team.
