Thrunscoe Primary 2 v 4 William Barcroft
The game started quite evenly. A foul was given against William Barcroft just outside their area. The Thrunscoe player had hit a driven strike past Reagan. This was 1-0 to Thrunscoe. The William Barcroft heads didn’t drop and after a lot of pressure, Thrunscoe’s defence were finally beaten. Benjamin hit a low strike into the bottom corner and equalised for William Barcroft. Not long after, William Barcroft found themselves on the attack and after an impressive triple save from the Thrunscoe keeper, we had found ourselves in front thanks to Austin who fumbled the ball over the line. 5 minutes from half time, we doubled our lead to go 3-1 up as Austin had scored his 2nd goal of the game.
Half time had arrived and the team rested in preparation for the second half.
The second half began and we found ourselves 4-1 up a few minutes into the second half. Austin had a shot that the keeper was unable to prevent going in. Austin had scored his hat trick. William Barcroft defended really well for 10 minutes with Benaiah and Ria making some crucial blocks. Reagan had played his role of sweeper keeper well but was beaten again when Thrunscoe fired one into the bottom corner. The game ended 4-2 to William Bacroft, who now progressed into the next round of the ENGAGE Cup and now face Healing Primary. We are looking forward to this as Healing is a school within our trust.
Some honourable mentions to Demi and Annabelle who worked relentlessly in midfield and defence. Jack and Frankie worked their socks off down the wings and were able to provide some excellent crosses for the strikers. Player of the match went to our hat trick hero Austin, who received his trophy from Mr Dawes in Friday’s assembly.
