March Bottisham U 6s 14 Waterbeach 0
To say we hit the ground running is an understatement! The
captain my Edward scored in the opening seconds and every
player performed better than I could ever imagine. Jack was
brilliant and scored next on the way to bagging 9! Harry “diver”
Darling grabbed a brace, Alexander poached one and Harry Taylor's
speculative long range effort must have swerved in front of
the keeper! Waterbeach never gave up and were unlucky on several
occasions but Hugh was immense in goal. Luke and Ben N were
solid in defence, while Callum and Sean-francis covered the
mid field area with My Ed covering every blade of grass including
his goal celebration! Edward B battled hard as did Ben L and
Thomas. I’m so proud of them all 10/10 for effort/commitment
and team spirit.
Scorers: Edward F , Jack (9) , Harry D (2), Alexander and
Harry T
MOM: Jack!

March Waterbeach 0 Bottisham U 6s 3
“Football is a funny old game”, we lost 3 players from previous
week. The boys may have been nervous because we were away
but preferred to stand in the middle of the pitch to discuss
Harry t’s party that afternoon or the great facilities of
Waterbeach, than get stuck in! Overall possession was 50/50
and the opposition seemed stronger but Hugh was “huge” in
goal and made several excellent saves. We missed the killer
instinct today but finally broke the deadlock when Harry D’s
bending corner was netted by the Waterbeach defence. Sean-francis
was inspired maybe because his grandma was watching? And scored.
We finally grabbed a third from my Ed, who keeps up his 100%
of scoring in each game and the lap of honour to celebrate!
Bradley battled hard on his debut and the captain Luke worked
tirelessly!
Scorers: OG, Sean-Francis, Edward F
MOM:Hugh!
2nd
April Bottisham U 6s 6 Milton
Colts 3
Again the first period of the match found our boys somewhat
sluggish and tired (had they been into town the night before?)
Milton took full advantage and took a 2-0 lead.
After the first break and pep talk Bottisham seemed to wake
up and Sean-Francis scored. However we then gifted a third
to our visitors. Thankfully the grey mist disappeared and
the boys started to play the football we know they can play.
Sean-Francis scored his second and the skipper Harry D scored.
Our fourth was an OG from Harry’s corner. Edward F worked
hard so did Harry T. A free kick from edge of area was crashed
home by Sean for his hat-trick! Luke, Callum, Alexander and
Thomas did well and there was a big cheer when Hugh returned
from holiday in time to play in goal. Scorers: Sean-Francis(3),
Harry D and OG
MOM: Sean-Francis

Like our first outing all the squad were up for this away
game, maybe they had Friday night in for once! Harry T was
captain and could have been mistaken for Gerrard, as for my
Edward again his work rate and coverage was excellent maybe
Lampard in the making? Jack kept up his scoring record and
grabbed a brace in the first period, his goal/match ratio
far superior to that of Owen. In the 2nd period we were awarded
free kick 10 metres from goal and with encouragement Jack
completed his hat-trick with a cracking goal. Luke and both
Bens battled hard across the middle of the pitch and Alexander
through sheer perseverance scored an individual goal. Harry
“diver” D grabbed a brace with good work from Thomas and Callum.
Edward B was like a little terrier nipping away at the opposition.
While discussing the great facilities of Milton the team forgot
we were still playing and gave away a soft goal. Hugh was
mean as usual in goal stopping every effort and when he came
on pitch for the final period Sean-francis with assistance
from Charlie regained our 6 goal advantage. Lastly, all through
this match one player namely Bradley did what was asked of
him “last man” and nothing but nothing got passed him, maybe
another Terry in the making?
Scorers: Jack 3, Alexander, Harry D 2 and Sean-Francis:
