U10 Orange - Lawford U10
*Lawford vs. Leamington Juniors**
I've forgotten how it feels to lose a game. Nevertheless......
On a beautiful day for football, Leamington Juniors travelled to the quaint village of Lawford for a league match. Lawford returned to league action after a four-week break, having been engaged in cup finals.
The game began with Leamington Juniors asserting themselves well, crafting several early chances. Their efforts paid off when Teddy found Fin on the right wing. With a good pass , Fin had a good first touch to control the ball before unleashing a powerful shot that found the back of the net, putting Leamington ahead 1-0.
However, their advantage was short-lived. Lawford responded with a stunning strike from outside the penalty area, leaving goalkeeper Freddie with no chance, levelling the score at 1-1. This wonder goal injected new energy into the Lawford side as they gained confidence and momentum heading into halftime.
In the second half, Lawford continued their attacking, scoring another long-range effort that left Leamington's defence struggling to contain them. Despite their challenges, Leamington Juniors did manage to create some opportunities. Notably, a back heel attempt and a header were both cleared off the line, showing their desire to fight back.
Unfortunately, with a limited squad and infrequent substitutions, Leamington began to tire, allowing the home side to maintain control. As the match progressed, it became too much for the weary visitors to overcome.

*Special Mentions*
3) The team, we had one sub today. The lads didn't give up even when tiredness kicked in. With a full squad, that would have been a different result. Well done, team👏👏
2) Teddy ran his heart out in midfield and gave everything. Freddie made good saves, too.
1) Benji, he played the whole game. His communication with the team was good. His athleticism shone through today, and he's getting more confident on the ball. Well done, Benji, you're today's man of the match. 👏👏👏👏⚽🎖️
