STJV U12 Raiders 1, Hemyock 4
U12 Raiders were taken by surprise by an early goal from Hemyock but, overall, their teamwork created many chances and their performance in the second half far outweighed the final score, writes Di Puzey.
Hill worked bravely and saved many more goals. Gibson and Raffell were tireless in midfield. McManus and Parsons were a good team up front. Main, Stamp and Newton defended strongly but Raiders were down 3-0 at half time. Raiders changed their line-up and seemed to get their determination back. Hughes received the ball from the half-way line, took on the opposition and scored. Leworthy, Birkhead and Skelding were solid in defence. Harris, Hopley, in goal, and Turbitt all played well.
