Carniny Amateurs U12s vs Bangor FC U12s

Sponsored by Robinsons Supermarket

Playing on the big grass pitches, the game was stretched from the start. Kelean and Alfie worked hard in midfield to provide outlets for Jackson and Pacey on the wings. After a sustained spell of pressure, James H nearly put the Reds ahead, but the ball just wouldn’t fall kindly.
Bangor began to grow into the game, using the space well. They took the lead when Carniny were slow to clear inside the box, and continued to press forward. A combination of Nathaniel, Ollie, and Zayn kept them at bay, while Travis pulled off some superb saves to keep the game tight. The introduction of Mark added energy in midfield, but Bangor held their advantage at the break.

HT 0–1

Carniny reshuffled positions in the second half and pushed forward with efforts from Mark, James, and Pacey, but none could find the net. Bangor also looked dangerous, but the Reds’ defence stood strong — Ollie in particular producing a rock-solid display. Unfortunately, Bangor doubled their lead from a set piece, finding a free player to tuck away their second.

FT 0–2

It was a tight contest with great effort shown across the team. Special mention goes to Mark, who stepped in for his second game of the weekend, and to Zayn, who played the full match on his return after a long spell out.

MotM: Ollie — outstanding defending throughout, nothing got past him!
Squad: Travis (GK), Zayn, Ollie, Nathaniel, Jackson, Pacey, Alfie, Kelean, James H, Mark
