The weeks game for West Kirby United Football Club - Official was an early kick off against a tough, unbeaten Grove’s side who were regarded the strongest in the division...
Could our boys compete and make a account of themselves?...
too right they could. What a game !!!!
Our boys absolutely flew out the traps, Grove’s could not get out of their own half, Leo and Oscar upfront pressed hard and forced the opposition to either make mistakes or kick it long, when they did kick it long Harry and George at the back cleaned up and started some good passing moves with calmness and composure on the ball. Fred in goal hardly touched the ball during the first ten minutes. Leo was absolutely unplayable at times, carrying the ball up the pitch with pace, power and determination.
The first goal came through some good strong play from Oscar, winning his team a free kick, Leo stepped up and power it in to the top corner, 1-0.
The next flurry of goals came during a whirlwind 20 minutes, some absolute belters coming from Harry; a brilliant volley off a corner, Fred smashing one in from distance into the far corner and Oscar also slamming one in. Special mention to Giles again with his goal, this is becoming his trademark, stepping in winning the ball, bursting through at pace and finishing well.
A brilliant dominant performance by West Kirby United Reds shown by the fact we had to play against an extra man for a large portion of the game. Grove’s did poise more of an attacking threat when utilising the extra player but all the boys defending brilliantly and continued to out-compete the opposition. George and Harry were solid at the back playing as a pair.
Well done to man of the match Leo, well deserved on his birthday ! He was brilliant all game. Direct, fast and strong, against tough players. He made it look easy at times. Well done Leo.
Some say these lads could be top of league……… 😊 (if there was a league)
Bring on the weekend,
Up the ‘unbeaten’ West Kirby Reds !!
