On Friday 13th, the boy’s development team hosted Holy Family in a friendly coming away with an impressive 5-3 win. This was the first time that the team had played together at the school. .

We started well with some great link up play between the defence and midfield as we looked to attack. After a sustained amount of pressure, we finally got our reward as Elias (5F) scored with a deflected shot to give us the lead. We continued to control the game, however, on the break Holy Family were able to get a goal back. The boys showed great resilience as they did not let this affect them. As the end of the half was approaching and we looked for the next goal, we were fortunate enough to score two with Elias (5F) adding to his tally and Albie (6H) scoring. 

At half time, we made a change with Marc (6S) coming on, who showed his composure and willingness to win every tackle. We started strong again, allowing Elias (5F) to complete his hattrick scoring his third goal. Max (5S) and James (5P) were electric as they kept running down the wings past defenders and were unfortunate not to score. Albie (6H) scored our fifth goal with a well taken volley into the top corner. As the game grew on, Holy Family kept attacking, causing Lucas (5S) to make a number of good saves. A frantic 2 minutes saw Holy Family score 2 goals resulting in a nervy end but Zain (6P), Jude (6P) and Rowan (5F) ensured with great defending and crucial blocks that we won the game.

A massive well done to…

Lucas (5S), Max (5S), James (5P), Rowan (5F), Elias (5F), Marc (6S), Albie (6H), Zain (6P), Jude (6P)

Also, thank you to all the Fielding parents who attended. Your support was heard throughout and helped massively!
