The Y7 and 8 boys football teams played against Danum on Wednesday evening. The 7’s at home and 8’s away.
It was the 7’s first game as a team with very little training. They put up a good fight after going 1-0 down early on. XP responded with a goal moments later with the score at 1-1. It stayed that way until the last few minutes when Danum scored from 2 free kicks to make it 3-1. It was a great effort from the boys and I’m sure there will be more to come in the upcoming fixtures.
The Y8’s started brightly away from home. Seeing a lot of the ball early and creating numerous openings with no reward. XP’s defence were solid and not letting Danum create openings on the counter attack. Danum were frustrating XP with the goalkeeper pulling off a string of fine saves.
Into the second half and XP continued to have a lot of the ball and create numerous chances. 10 minutes into the second, the ball was played down the right, crossed in and volleyed in at the back post. A composed finished from Ethan. XP managed to see out the rest of the second half without much trouble. Final result Danum 0-1 XP.
Well done to all teams!
