BOYS’ SPORT - MIDDLE SCHOOL
A Prep school thriller took place against two very even teams for St Hugh’s and APS’ U9A sides. End to end action dominated the match, with excellent battles in the middle of the park also taking place. Harry S and Rory F had cracking games, showing fantastic composure while spraying the ball left right and centre for the tenacious Nico C-S and Johnny W to latch onto. With St Hugh’s looking certain to hold onto a 3-2 victory, APS clinched a last gasp equaliser to conclude an exciting match. MVP - Johnny W. The B team had an afternoon to remember; from the off, the boys played with quality and intensity. Oliver E got an early hat trick with some great composure in front of goal. Theo M worked his socks off in midfield and was a constant nuisance for the Abingdon players. William A showed real quality with the ball, making great choices and scoring four goals. George’s pace in defence was a real asset. Rory C’s powerful dribbling caused chaos for the opposition, helping him bag four goals. Henry also managed a goal on his debut with the Bs. The game finished 13-0 with Theo as MVP. U9C maintained their winning start to the season with a thrilling finish to the game. We dominated the first half but couldn’t take our chances leaving the match 0-0 at half time. The 2nd half started the same way until Abingdon mounted their first attack of the match and scored. It looked like it was going to be one of those days until with 5 minutes to go Harry DeA equalised . In the last 5 minutes our attack was relentless looking for the winner, and in it came with the very last kick of the match, with a Leo V cool finish. There was lots of good running with the ball from James B, and Leo V work rate in midfield was fantastic and Seb L positioning in defence broke up many counter attacks and Bobby’s (MVP) passing was outstanding.
