UNDER 9’S REACH CUP FINAL

Oswald Road under 9’s fought hard and played well to reach the Divisional Cup Final in their semi final game against Broadheath Barracudas. The first fifteen minutes were slightly dull, however there was plenty of action at each end but no one could manage to put the ball in the net.

Before the second third the Oswald Road coach set the team a challenge which was to score twice in that third. They came very close to doing so but at least they managed one. In the first ten minutes of the last third Oswald Road managed to maintain their lead but they could not hold on any longer. Broadheath equalized with four minutes to go meaning only one thing; EXTRA TIME! .

The first seven and a half minutes were goalless meaning it was all to play for in the last period of extra time. Finally Oswald Road made the breakthrough when what was meant to be a cross, turned into a goal.
Well that was Semi-Final number one but in the other a shock result was that Unicorn Wizards were beaten 4-3 by Stretfordians. The final takes place on Sunday 14th May in Urmston.

TEAM: Dominic Cairney-Hill, Lyndon Mayhew-Dodd, Callum Lee, Joey Lowy, Edward McNally (Capt.), Danny Newell, Oliver Schofield-McCarthy, Ilya Szkwarok, Tommy Whittell
