U15 Bucks had a great game winning 5-3 against strong opposition from Bad Shot Lea.

Simon starting the match with a diamond formation moving to 4-3-3 in the second half. Sadly Will is still injured so Arran and Finn stepped up and took the goalie gloves.

The back line were Matt, James, Finn and Zac for the first half with Finn and Arran swapping in the second half to put Arran on the defence line with Finn in goal.

Hampton were 0-1 down at half time from a penalty but the boys rallied for the second half. Kerem made a sterling effort in the first 15 minutes which was saved by the opposition keeper.

A penalty was conceded for a foul in the box which was taken and scored by Bad Shot Lea so at the break of the first half the boys were 0-1 down.

Not long into the second half, the goals starting coming but not before the opposition had a goal disallowed for offside.

Rory scored the first goal which was assisted by Kerem and not long after he scored the second goal after the Bad Shot keeper spilt the ball. Josh then scored the third goal from a keeper dropped ball. Soon after it was Josh again who ran the length of the pitch to bring the score to 4-1 but scoring another cracking goal. This clearly set a trend as Kerem then did exactly the same running the length of the pitch to score which brought our score up to 5-1.

Sadly another penalty conceded from a hand ball but this time the ball went straight over the top of the goal.

Bad Shot Lea scored two cracking goals in the second half with no shame on the defence as the ball in one case looped over everyone's heads to go into the top of the net.

The match saw some great passing by the boys and great defending.

Keep it up boys.
