Bradford on Avon Falcons 1, Under 10C's 3 

Highbury under 10,s  ‘C’ team.   Saturday 12th September 2009  played away at Bradford-On-Avon RFC.

The first match of the season between our lads and Bradford-On-Avon Falcons (their ‘c ‘ team I think) 

The Highbury team consisted of 6 of the new team plus two visitors from the ‘B’ team to whom we extend our thanks. The players were NAT, KIERAN, RONAN, MATTHEW, BEN, BRANDON, KYLE &  ZACK.

The coach for this season is the very vocal and well loved  Bill (shake my hand )Tyson.

The match opened with much vigour and enthusiasm from both sides, but it was obvious from the start that one of Bradford’s lads was going to be a serious threat to our team, his name is Lyndon and his presence was felt throughout the whole game in fact I should be very surprised if he wasn’t made Bradford’s man of the match.

It didn’t take long before a mid field skirmish led to an attack by Highbury ending in a wonderful  goal scored from six metres out by Ronan, yes we scored after only five minutes of play, a terrific start to our new under 10 s team.   Lots of good play followed , good passing well positioned players,  and a lot of appropriate movement all resulting in an excellent  goal scored by Bradford.  Half time score one goal a piece.

The second half started with two very competitive teams battling for pole position but neither could dominate. All our players pulled out the stops, every attack was countered and in all each and every one of our boys excelled in this the first match of the season. This enthusiasm was soon rewarded by a splendid goal scored after only three minutes by Brandon, 2-1 to us. We were elated, parents of both sides applauded this achievement which just showed the camaraderie of parents when good play presented itself. This goal stirred up even more fire in the Bradford team, but every attack made by them was soon blocked and turned to an advantage by our lads. It was not long before one of these advantages was collected and turned into a second excellent goal by Brandon. It was 3-1 to us and only five minutes to play, but at no time did our chaps flag they kept on to the very end.

We can genuinely say at this game Highbury played to win and certainly did. WELL DONE LADS.

Final score 3-1 to Highbury.    Man of the match for his excellent defending was BEN.
