Report

This was the first time that these teams had played each other and there was much excitement from the players and parents alike. In the first five minutes Alveston showed their strength and looked like scoring from their first corner except for a great save by Snitterfield’s keeper and man of the match, Jay Pluck. After this Snitterfield improved considerably and the first half was end to end with both teams’ defense putting in strong performances, with a noteable performance from Snitterfield’s Jake Ashfield. The second half looked to be more of the same and could have been a goal less draw until Snitterfield won a penalty with 10 minutes to go. Alfie Reaper scored the penalty confidently. From this point on the match pace increased considerably with some frantic activity around both goals. Alveston were unlucky not to score when the ball rolled along the top of the crossbar, but did score minutes later just before the full time whistle was blown. The match finished an exciting draw.
