WINDSOR PELE 4 MYS BLACKS 3
Youngstars were edged out in a hard-fought game, but did themselves huge credit by pushing a team doing well in the Pele league all the way.
We had a guest keeper in Kieron Ross who has played so well against us for Aberlady and Windsor Maradona in the past. He had a busy game and made some great saves - but the Windsor goalie also played his part in an end-to-end contest, making a great stop early in the game as Seth ran clear.
Youngstars played some nice football early on, but Windsor took the lead with a scrappy goal by Aaron O'Donnell (who plays for MYS blue stripes on Saturday) after a scramble in the box. They could have extended their lead, but we also went close when David smacked a great shot into the side netting. Scott also had a couple of chances and a corner from Lloyd skidded across the goal-line and away off the inside of the post.
Kieron made a couple of excellent saves but was beaten again soon before half-time - but Youngstars kept fighting and Jack went close just before the break when he couldn't quite squeeze in his shot from a tight angle.
Chances came thick and fast in the second-half, with Connor and Jason fighting hard under a lot of pressure at the back. But Youngstars got back into the game when Scott outpaced the defence and slid the ball home. We almost equalised when the Windsor keeper blocked a shot and Callum tried to force the ball home from almost on the goal-line - only for a defender to dive in and block it.
Windsor's right midfield player, the star man of the game, made it 3-1 with a brilliant individual goal, but we pulled it back again when Scott ran clear to score his second high into the net. It was tough going for the wide midfielders, but all of them - Blair, David, Callum, Jack and Seth at different times - battled hard to support Lloyd.
We fell 4-2 behind to another great goal as a Windsor player volleyed in a corner to give Kieron no chance - but came back straight away as Jack got a brilliant header on Lloyd's corner and followed up to score when a defender blocked it on the line.
Lloyd almost nipped in to intercept a backpass at the very end as Youngstars pressed to make it 4-4 - but the boys all deserve great credit for fighting all the way and playing some nice football too.
Squad: Kieron Ross, Connor, Jason, Jack, Lloyd, Callum, Seth, Scott, David, Blair.
