U11 Black - Claverdon

Claverdon started the better of the two teams with more possession, more composure on the ball and nearly made Brakes pay for some sloppy clearances. Thankfully we rode our luck somewhat for the first ten minutes and then started to get our foot in the game. The game was crying out for a goal and some good work down the right hand side opened up a chance that was taken well by Zac McCarthy. Went into half time with a 1-0 advantage but had certainly been the second best team. 

Second half saw Brakes up their performance and start the better of the two teams playing better football and dominating midfield. However a goal somewhat against the run of play for Claverdon gave them some much needed confidence. A close game was edged by a wonderful strike from Ekam Dhesi taking advantage of a misplaced GK clearance and finished from outside of the box lobbing the GK with a first time strike. Brakes had just about enough to see out the game and secure another victory.
