AFC Liverpool vs. Town Green U15 Match report


Match report
Sat 15/09/12 10:30
Under 15 Premier
Sandy Lane, Lydiate L31 4DW
Match Officials: Stuart Gravenell

Sandy Lane in Lydiate hosted the encounter between AFC Liverpool under 15’s and Town Green FC in their second game of the 2012/13 season.
The under 15’s AFC team created very controlled and dominate display throughout Saturdays game against Town Green. The first half saw the visitors pinned back into their own half for long periods with AFC dictating the pace and direction of play in most areas of the game and subsequently Jake Young the AFC keeper didn’t have to make a save throughout the half. For all their domination and control of play AFC didn’t capitalise in the final third of the pitch and wasted numerous opportunities and lacked attacking intent or tenacity right through the team.
Half time 0-0
AFC continued with their control of the game but started to push harder to create more opportunities and opening to break the first half deadlock. Marcus McGinn and Ryan Patterson both came close on a couple of occasions with efforts from the edge of the penalty area and Mike McCay rounded of a solid defensive performance at right back by overlapping the midfield and putting in some telling crosses from the right wing. During a period of sustained pressure AFC earned a corner and the resulting cross produced a penalty for the home team after Liam Worth was held back by a Town Green player as he ran to meet the ball. James Tryer stepped up and coolly slotted home the ensuing spot kick which was fully deserved for both the team and James as they had given first rate displays.
Full time 1-0
A better overall display from the lads on Saturday and they started produce a consistent level of simple and affective passing football. With a little more determination and ownership within the final third of the pitch from every player in the team and the games should be won by larger margins in the coming weeks.
