U18's 0 - 5 STANSTED FC U18's
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY MATCH - SATURDAY 24th JULY 2010
An excellent start to our pre-season campaign today away at
Rushden. With many of our lads playing together for the first
time and with no less than 8 players unavailable through
holiday and injury, today was all about us learning how to play
together, do the right things and start to establish our own
pattern of play.
With the strength in depth and the quality in our squad, our
lads put in a tremendous first performance of the season. Our
defence stood strong against the 'direct' approach adopted by
Rushden & with Joe & Big Bill dominating the aerial
battles & with Luke & Tommy superb in the full back
positions, our stand-in 'Cat' was not called into action too
often!!
Well done to Jack & Harry playing together for the first
time together in centre-mid and both Matty & Heskey working
the flanks well.
Our starting attacking partnership of Terry the skipper &
Rob looked very sharp from the off.
A first-half goal from skipper Terry Spillane put us 1-0 up and
second-half goals from Rob Stapleton, Alex Findley and a brace
from Jack Leachman saw us run out comfortable winners.
Well done lads, a great start. Let's keep working hard, we have
plenty to look forward to this season as we continue our
football development towards senior football.
