After last weeks crushing defeat and Devizes Town's current position as leaders of the league, the pressure was really on the U10 B's. The game started fairly evenly. Josh, Chandler and Drew had the first attack for Highbury, but Drews shot was saved. Excellent defence from Megan and Kieran stopped Devizes making any headway As half time approached the score was still 0-0. That is until Josh's free kick allowed Drew to take another shot, which although it was deflected, was tapped back home by Chandler - making the score 1-0 at Half Time. Devizes started strong in the second half, and an unfortunate rebound off a Highbury player allowed Devizes to equalize. Highbury kept the pressure up and a Josh corner set Drew up for a spectacular header, putting Highbury back into the lead. Devizes pushed hard but Taylor, Callum, Daniel and Aiden owned the field and stopped Devizes from getting any real opportunities. When the ball did get through, Dylans goalkeeping was flawless. After what seemed like an eternity, the final whistle blew, the final score 2-1 to Highbury. A good result from a team that has found its form again!
