Match Report - Twyford Barca - B U10's 2010/11

Type: EDYL = Exeter & District Youth League

Twyford Barca started strongly against the visitors, contesting every tackle and running at the opposition through the middle of the park. The scoring opened when Okehampton Milan conceded a free kick about 20 yards out which defender; Aaron Long sensationally struck sweetly over the wall curling away to the goalkeeper’s right and into the goal!  A free kick that even Frank Lampard would admire.

We continued to maintain our momentum pressing high up the pitch, pinning Okehampton in their half, Jack Walton coming close with a shot just wide of the goal.

Another very strong performance from Eden Reynell contained any advances down the wing and enabling Patrick Smith to have a couple of good runs on his debut.

The first half continued to be a very open game, producing a missed penalty from Okehampton, an equaliser and a second Twyford goal from an Eden Reynell strike which deflected into the net by an Okehampton defender.

Our opponents were fired up after their half-time team talk from their manager and dominated much of the play in the opening minutes, a number of shots saved by Twyford Keeper; Konnor Tebby.  Aaron Long and Zack Veen battled gallantly to keep our team in front until a shot from Okehampton rattled the crossbar midway through the half causing controversy and an equaliser.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, against a very strong Milan team following an excellent team performance from every single player.
