Saturday mornings can’t come round quick enough for the ever improving U8 Blue team. Today felt like a proper “away day” with a trip to Deal Town Rangers.

Playing 6v6 the Risers started steadily with Ozzie and Samuel who usually play more forward given the challenge of being defenders and keeping guard of Goalkeeper Max. Between the 3 of them they were like a brick wall which stopping all that was heading their direction.

Freddie,Arthur and Noah all started spritely attacking the Rangers defence at every opportunity.

Towards the later stages of the first half, Rafeberto Carlos struck a free kick, low into the corner of the goal.

2nd half and the Risers carried on getting Stronger as the game went on. Further goals from Rafe, a header from a lovely corner, floated in by Max G. Max himself then pounced on a rebound to slot home after a shot from Ozzie crashed off the crossbar. Then Ozzie kept his next shot below the bar for a well deserved goal.

Players of the Match Freddie and Arthur. Both impressive attacking and defending. Roll on next Saturday.
