MYS BLACKS 2 SPARTANS 6
Youngstars were well-beaten by a confident and well-organised team who passed the ball really well and worked together as a unit in both defence and attack.
We lost an early goal but came back into the game and were disappointed to lose a second when a Spartans player peeled off at the back post to volley home a deep corner. There was hope when we pulled it back to 2-1 after Seth set up Lloyd whose shot took a deflection to wrong-foot the keeper.
If we had gone in just 2-1 down, we would have had a great chance, but we conceded a silly goal immediately before half-time, missing several opportunities to clear before a shot squirmed beyond David and inside the post.
The game was effectively over just after half-time when more poor marking at the back post saw Spartans make it 4-1. Then a strong shot from the edge of the box made it 5-1 as our heads dropped.
Jason put in a brilliant shift at the back and was the clear man of the match and Connor also did well for the resat of the game after an emergency call for a pair of boots that fitted him! We threw Jack up front for a bit of physical presence and he came close to pulling one back after a good run. Lloyd and Callum also had good opportunities but too often we tried to pass the ball into goal instead of having a blast when a chance opened up.
It was 6-1 when a high shot was too hot for David to handle, but we got a deserved goal back when Lloyd hammered in after a penalty box scramble.
Squad: David, Jason, Connor, Jack, Lloyd, Callum, Seth, Cameron Dunlop, Cameron Brown, Blair.
