UNDER 15s CHAMPIONS ELECT

This was a much awaited clash between 1st and 2nd placed teams with the winner being Champions and the losers being runners up so a tight game was in store, and it proved to be that way with the first ten minutes starting at a frantic pace and the marking being very tight, and the opening came on ten with B.Ellis slotting to put Moorgreen Colts infront.Within ten minutes it was all square when a 30 yrd strike from G.Mee, it took a wicked bounce infront of the Colts keeper M.Henson and hit the back of the net.The game was nip and tuck with both teams cancelling out each other, untill a free kick was awarded a good 25 yrd out and A.Nichols flighted the ball into the goal via the back post to put 98 in the lead.The Colts came close again hitting the woodwork and then hitting the bar and the 2nd goal seemed to elude them.On another sortie the 98 keeper Jinxsy pulled off a series of saves to keep his team infront at half time.

The second period started as the first with the game flowing from box to box, with both midfields battling hard to gain the upper hand, and again with the half ten minutes old, D.Fownes put in a cross and A.Nichols climbed to head into the roof of the net to put  Moorgreen 98 3-1 up.With both J.Frost and K.Frost moving further up the field 98 was on the back foot for long periods and another chance evaded them when Jinxsy pulled off a top draw save diving full stretch and palmed away a certain goal around the post.Still with the Colts pressing a bad challenge inside the box gave the Colts a penalty and a chance to decrease the deficit but again the 98 keeper pulled off another great save.With the pressure the Colts were inflicting on the 98 backline it was inevitable another goal was going to be scored, and ten from the end a M.Gartland snapshot through a crowd of players found its way into the back of the net to give an exciting finish, but 98 held on to secure the points. This game attracted a big crowd on the touchlines, watching some quality players on show, both sets of players should be proud of the display they produced in this highly entertaining match...The spectators choice for man of the match without a doubt was 98s keeper Jinxsy...Both these teams will now be promoted to the 1st div....
