ECHO U11 PREMIER LEAGUE

Parsonage Colts   3   Woodford 'A'   1

   Parsonage would like to welcome Mark Frostick and his family to our club.  Mark made his debut today for Parsonage against his old club.

   Today's match was without doubt a game of two halves.  Woodford set their stall out to defend from the off.  This made for a very slow game from Parsonage's point, by the end of the first half their enthusiasm was lacking. The score at half time stood 0-0.

   Within minutes of the start of the second half, Woodford had gone 1-0 up.  Chafer dangerously took his eye off the ball and paid the price.  This however seemed to be the wake up that Parsonage needed.  Parsonage showed their resilience and picked up the pace. 

   It was one of Yexley's unstoppable free kicks that opened the scoring for Parsonage.  Woodford keeper managed to get his finger tips to it but it was too powerful to stop.  It was only three minutes later that Edobor struck from the far left side of the pitch. A fantastic shot which curved in the air and found the top corner of the goal.  Our third goal came from Abutoh.

   Man of the match this week went to Okoh for his outstanding contribution throughout the game.

Parsonage : Chafer,Ayres,Okoh,Grigg,Pickett,Mallett,Yexley,Edobor,Saunders,Abutoh,Benmore,Klawiosiwk,Frostick and not forgetting Evenden (spelt correctly from now on).
