2009/10 FIXTURES
Long Melford U9’s Reds
8 Feering Falcons U9’s Reds 0 (Sunday 14 February 2010)
This game saw Melford
scoring fifteen goals in the last two games and keeping successive clean sheets.
Sam knight opened the scoring in the fifth minute from a ball from Joe Foster
following good work from Dean Ablitt surging from
defence down the left flank. Seven minutes later and a cross from Dean Ablitt following another run, this time down the right
wing found Sam Knight again who made no mistake for his second. Another run and
cross this time by Edward Murray through the middle set up Sam Knight for
another goal. A first half hat-trick (and a crisp fiver
from Dad!) for the Melford Striker. A
speculative shot from long range from Edward Murray was stopped by the keeper,
but slipped out of his hands and had enough momentum to trundle over the line
for Melford’s fourth. There was nothing fortuitous
about Edward Murray’s second goal a couple of minutes later when he dribbled his
way through to shoot and score Melford’s next goal
to take the Colt’s into half time 5-0 up.
Within two minutes of the restart Melford had added to their tally, Joe Foster netting in a
penalty box scramble resulting from a Melford
Corner kick. Feering scored an own goal after a
well struck Sam Knight cross went in off of a Falcon’s defender to make it 7-0
to the home side.
Sam Knight struck once again for his fourth just over
half way through the second half to give the Colts an 8-0 lead, and the score
remained the same till full time. Mention must be made of Freddie Chandler’s performance
which was as committed as any of the Melford
players and who came close to scoring his first goal for Melford but, despite his team mate’s best efforts,
couldn’t quite do it. Lewis Smith also had a solid game in defence and Callum Christie in goal kept another clean
sheet.
