Boys U13's Spitfires - Hartshill

Sunday 3rd November 2024

Stockton juniors u13 vs Hartshill u13

A hard fought but well deserved away win!

First half was an even affair with both teams trying to create chances but neither able to find a break though. Stockton worked hard out of possession and the home team were restricted to mainly shots from outside the area. They did trouble jensen once from a free kick but he threw himself to his right to tip the ball round the post. It wasn't until the last minute of the half that Stockton took the lead some good passing play between James, William and Dougie in midfield enabled the ball to be spread outwide to Thomas who beat his man and slotted the ball underneath the keeper.

Half time 1-0

The second half Harsthill threw everything at Stockton. With only 1 substitute the boys had to dig deep to with stand the pressure. Hartshill did eventually level from a corner but this seemed to give the boys more energy! It was not long before Stockton retook the lead, leyton chased down a lost cause and managed to get infront of his defender who had no choice but to foul him in the penalty area. Leyton stepped up and smashed the penalty home to make it 2-1. Stockton did not stop and Thomas made it 3-1 shortly after, following up a dropped shot by the keeper and taping it into an empty net.

At half time we talked about it being a game of will over skill. On a heavy pitch, the boys grit and determination saw them through to take all 3 points
