Year 6 - Bristol Saturday Youth League Debut

So - it wasn't the Downs and it wasn't the Friendly League but the new season started in fine and pretty familiar fashion.

For the League season we have split the squad in two. The Greens (Archie, Ollie K, Ian,Danny, Ollie C, Jack T, Harry, Omar, Nick, Max, Sam P and Jack C) and the Whites (Owen, Seb, Harri, Aidan, Isaac, Joey, Sam L, Raul, Jacob, Alec and Sonny).

The two Westbury Park Foxes teams met in their opening BSYL fixture in the beautiful setting of St. Ursula's. Those watching enjoyed a thrilling and hard fought 3-3 draw.

The Greens started more brightly and Owen pulled off a fine one handed save to deny Danny. The Whites edged into it and Joey took his chance well after Archie, Ollie k and Ian had done well to block a series of opportunities.

Max opened the scoring for the Greens, finishing off a fine through ball from Nick, but that just provoked the Whites. A stylish hat trick for Joey and a string of high quality saves from Owen put the Whites 3-1 up.

Not to be out done, and showing real resolve, the Greens dug in deep and rallied with goals from Omar and Danny to level the scores and set up an exciting final 5 minutes, in which both sides had chances to win. With almost the last kick of the game Danny was again denied by Owen as his free kick was tipped onto the bar.

All in all a great start with both teams playing some good football.

Thanks to Mr B for reffing the boys so well.
