Twyford Monaco U12 showed just what they are capable of in a thrilling end-to-end cup tie away at Crediton Saints. A combination of true grit and quality football enabled them to progress into the quarter finals with a 7 – 3 win. Monaco came into the game with only 11 fit players but each played their part in an excellent team performance against a very strong side. Harry Denson put them ahead when he finished sweetly after being played in by Nick Merriam but soon after Crediton equalised. Monaco again took the lead through Denson only to find the home side levelling almost immediately. Dan Verrier smashed in number three to take Monaco in at half time with a slender lead. The central defensive pairing of Alex Wright and Harry Venner were fearless throughout and full backs Matt Gillett and Connor Tucker didn’t put a foot wrong while goalkeeper Tom Haines’ handling was precise and confident. Crediton enjoyed a strong opening to the second half and scored an excellent equalizer. The midfield pair of Aaron Farebrother and Matt Watts dug in and deservedly Monaco went back in front when Merriam’s great run and cross was turned in by Anthony Ansell. From then on it was all one way with Denson scoring a further brace and Watts getting his reward for his efforts when he fired in off the post.
