Fleet Spurs 0    Rushmoor Saints Tigers   0

 

Fleet Spurs Under 7's had an excellent performance this weekend, attacking the oppositions penalty area for a good 80% of the game. Frustration ruled the day though, with an excellent defensive performance by Rushmoor and a superb performance from Rushmoor's keeper ensuring that Spurs didn't score a goal.
 
Rushmoor managed two very dangerous break away attacks, one in each half of the game, giving Andre in the first half and Jared in the second half, trying goals to score, in what was for them, a very quiet match.
 
A quick fall back to defensive positions, and a good solid defensive play when required ensured that Rushmoor were also kept goalless. In a game where Ben Shefras had at least 10 shots on goal, where Daniel Barden slipped past the opposition players with ease, where Aidan Lai played a positional game that could be likened to a professional, Euan Champion dribbled for England in a blinding midfield performance, and where Robbie Coupland burst forward with aggressive attacks time and time again, Spurs were very very unlucky not to score, and looked like they could have walked away from the game with a 5 - 0 win. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and the score line was kept to a goalless draw. A great and persistent attacking game won Ben Shefras Player of the Week, in a game where the hole team deserved extra credit.
