Willen Juniors Utd 1 vs 3 Rockets

The venue was Sherington, on a full adult size pitch in the rain and mud -we could see that this was not going to be a game for the faint hearted.

The first half was a stale-mate with the Rockets having about 60% of the possession but unable to put away any chances.

Half time and Thomas L has to come off feeling the effects of a virus. Time for a re-shuffle, with Rory moving to left back, Kyle into the holding midfield role and Thomas OB filling in as Striker.

It wasn’t long before the Rockets opened the scoring courtesy of Matt. This was followed by a good spell of pressure by the Rockets in which we hit the post, had a goal ruled offside and netted two more, a second by Matt and our third by Connor.

Willen mounted some pressure over the last 15-20 minutes eventually resulting in a goal, but excellent defending all round and goalkeeping by William R kept Willen from making a full come back.

Well done to everyone for another great performance with significant improvement by the defence.
