BSYL - yr 6 - 31st March

The Whites played at home against Brislington. For the first time this season we asked the League to provide a referee and were glad we did as the travelling coaches and supporters were very vocal in their criticism of every decision that didn't go their way, irrespective of whether the ref was actually right or not.

We had, once again, to call in a number of year 5s and, once again, they did the club proud, with both of our goals coming from the younger year group. For the first time this season we didn't have Owen available and sadly we paid heavily for it. He would have kept out all of Brislington's goals and would also have meant that we didn't have to play two 'natural' strikers in goal for a half each. Great performances from Aidan and Seb at the back and a lovely strike from Stanley was not enough to leave warm memories of a difficult game played in a poor spirit throughout.

The Greens travelled to Ingleside and came out as 4-1 winners. We started sluggishly and the home side deserved to be 1-0 ahead and could actually have increased their lead but for some scrambled defence and great keeping by Archie. Danny brought us level with a neat turn and finish and after half time the introduction of the year 5s (Henry, Joseph and T-J) changed our attitude and lead to further goals from Danny (again), Archie (from a goal kick) and Ollie K (taking a touch before lashing the ball into the top corner).

Well played all and a huge thanks to Simon, Rob and Colin for sharing their year 5 players so generously this season and for the boys (and parents) for turning out for us to such great effect.
