PGSOB U18’s v ISCA U18’s
Posted by Colin Wood on 27 October 2019
ISCA eventually ran out winners after a tense and close 1st period with the visitors struggling to find a way past a well-organised and resolute Home side that created some chances of their own. An older side who were moving the ball well started to penetrate the hosts circle, scoring 2 before the break.
Again we started well, but a high ISCA press forced a turnover in the circle, scoring past a helpless Isaac, who was in fine form throughout. As the second half went on, PG's legs started to tire, our younger team, chasing the ball in spells, as it was moved with pace and precision. Isca found 3 late goals as they created some fine attacking plays
Overall our boys did well stepping up to the higher level and adapting to new players and the lack of game time together as a group. We now drop into Tier 2 of the EH Competition and await our opponents in the draw. Many thanks to all that stepped into the side, to Tony (Team Manager), AJ & Nick (Coaching)and to Bruce (TD) & the two umpires on the day (Sean & Colin).
