Wythenshawe Amateurs 2 Denton Town 3 (under 13's)

Tough match today, although you had the chances to finish them off in the first half, but going in at half-time 2-0 up, we knew they were going to come at us 2nd half. Similar to the Stockport game, we changed things round, and you lost your composure, conceding two goals in as many minutes which brought them level, and they looked good for more at that point. It just goes to show, that if you let things slip against good teams like WA, you are going to get punished, and WA took their goals really well. We picked up again for the last 20mins, but apart from the pen, didn't take our chances.

Overall you all put 100% in today, and the defence looked pretty solid, though their blonde no. 10 gave us allsorts of problems - class player. On the balance of play, and chances created, I think we edged WA and deserved the win - no doubt they will have a different view. Details are:-

4 mins 1-0 Yoyo - great finish
33 mins 2-0 Yoyo - another good goal
Half-time
42 mins 2-1 great goal by WA
44 mins 2-2 bit scrappy, should have cleared it
51 mins 3-2 Kayleigh (pen), well placed as usual.

Our player of the match (after some confusion) was Kayleigh - well done, strong as ever. For them, the blonde no. 10 - remember her next time we play them. Thought the ref missed a few clear decisions, both for and against us, so I gave him 7/10, which is probably a bit generous - mind you, he is still very young and like you, learning the game.

Cup next week, at home to Sale.
