SAHA COLTS U9'S 2016-2017 5 vs 2 Shrewsbury Junior Colts

The Colts returned to the outdoor league after a productive and successful winter season.

The Colts did not play Futsal so were not ring rusty for 7 a side.

A bright start saw Matty back heel to Finn who passed forward to George who hammered home 1-0.

Matthew was playing in centre mid and started strongly making a number of interceptions, he got 9 by the end of the first quarter.

George kept up his strong start and smashed in a 2nd not long after with a long range shot 2-0.

Cole and Jacob showed again a great partnership but were unlucky when the ball broke from Cole, straight into the feet of a Junior who poked home 1-2.

Ryan began some great runs down the line and from a well deserved free kick he hammered one into the danger zone. Will was able to knock it home....with his 'butt' 3-1.

Jack was pressing high up the pitch as the Colts kept the pressure on the juniors.

They got their reward when a nice passage of play between Matty and Freddie saw Freddie smash a shot home from distance.

Zen kept composed in goal and came out well to smother the ball.

Ryan and Will combined again, this time from a corner as Will poked it home 5-1.

Finn tried to play out of defence with some good confidence but gave the ball away for Juniors to nick one at the end 5-2.

Things to work on - taking a touch sometimes. no need to rush

Finn - not his best game and looked a little lost up front. Needs to come closer to the ball but takes up good positons when George is on the opposite wing
