Youth begin season with traditional curtain raiser (29.07.07)

The Youth had mixed fortunes at the Arsenal International Tournament played at Egham's Royal Holloway College on Saturday.

In the first game (2 halves of 30 mins) we lost 3-2 to a very mature Edgware Town side. As we were fielding no less than 3 15 year olds I thought we did tremendously well. Right from the off we were the superior side with our quick passing and technique and deservedly took the lead in the 10th minute. Edgware equalised through a defensive slip up against the run of play. Matty Stevenson rifled in a 25 yarder to retake the lead .
In the second half we were poor and never at the races. Edgware used their physical presence to bully us out of the game with some intimidating tactics. Two late goals wrapped up the game.

In the second game we beat last years winners and Allied Premier Champions Hayes by 3 goals to 2.
We started well and a thunderous 30 yard free kick from Steve Deverall gained applause from all around. Slack marking halfway through the half saw Hayes equalise. Josh Waldron put us 2-1 up going into half time with a neat far post finish from a Deverall corner.
We extended our lead to 3-1 when a great ball from Lee Barney found Nathan Lishman who rounded the keeper to shoot home. Hayes pulled a goal back with 4 minutes remaining and then applied alot of pressure but we held out to record a fine win against a strong Hayes side.
