Welcome to the Under 13's Match Report Write Ups for December 2007.

LONGCROFT LIONS

WAKEFIELD UNITED

SUNDAY 23RD DECEMBER 2007 – AWAY 

The u13's travelled to top of the league Longcroft Lions. The first half was dominated by United who played a great first thirty five minutes. Hard tackles and great effort from all the players led to two goals being scored by Adam and William Oesterlein. The team made a host of chances, a great shot from outside the box by Jack Daly just went over the bar. Wakefield hit the post and Longcroft's keeper made a string of saves. It was against the run of play when Longcroft Lions got one back just before the break. The second half saw the Lions come at Wakefield. They scored a quality goal that was in keeping with the high standard of football being played.  As Wakefield pushed forward the defence was always likely to be vulnerable,  Longcroft went ahead when a penalty was awarded after good build up work. Keiran Biltcliffe made a great save but could not prevent the follow up going in to make it 3-2. The conditions started to tell as both teams tired, Wakefield pushed on again however the Lions broke and scored the fourth and killer goal. Wakefield had a couple of great chances including hitting the post and a  strike from Jordan Firth forcing a great save. The whole team deserve a mention, this was a day when missed chances cost the team dear. Thomas Shann and Luke Reeves were solid in midfield and put in 100%, William Oesterlein had Brazilian style touches on the wing, Bill Brooke was inspired but the Arrow Self Drive player of the match went to Tom Eaton who again showed all the skill and determination to enable him to stand out in a great team.

FINAL SCORE - LONGCROFT LIONS  4 - 2  WAKEFIELD UNITED
