Under 11’s
Highbury Blacks 9 Melksham 1
After an outstanding end to 07/08 season Highbury Blacks have got straight back down to business making the transition from 7 aside to 11 aside and playing on a full size pitch. Despite a rare defeat away to Westbury last week Highbury bounced back with an inspirational home performance against a strong Melksham team. Charlie Dillon, Chris Office Brandon Thompson, Luke Hardy & Reece Collier all made the score sheet, while Ross Melia, Kurt Wilson, Dewaka Gurung, Sam Rabcezk kept the defence well organised to restrict the visitors to very few chances. Luke Slater kept goal with increasing confidence and Sam Thomas put in an assured performance setting up a number of the first half goals. With a number of key players missing Ben Muskin filled the void in the centre midfield as the Blacks enjoyed their first home game.
