Match Report – PCFC U9 Whites vs Ecclesfield 1915

What a fantastic team performance from the boys this week against Ecclesfield 1915!

Ecclesfield started strongly and took the lead in the first half. The boys continued to work hard, gradually finding their rhythm and building momentum as the game progressed.

We created plenty of opportunities and had numerous shots at goal, although initially we just couldn’t find the finish.

Coming into the second half, we really began to raise the pace, increase our possession, and put the opposition under greater pressure.

Ecclesfield managed to add a second goal, but the boys showed great character and determination to respond, with Kellan getting us back on the scoresheet, followed by Jude, as we continued to fight our way back into the game.

Our captain, No. 3 who was selected for the role following his fantastic work rate and commitment in training last week. He carried that same attitude and determination into today’s match.

Managers Man of the Match, was our No.4 for a composed and solid performance in defence. He read the game well, stayed calm under pressure and made some important contributions throughout.

The opposition also selected out a player of the match, our No. 6 for his great first half in goal before taking that same confidence and determination outfield in the second half.

The biggest positive today was the strength of this team as a unit. There was no shortage of effort, with the boys battling for every ball, working hard for one another and showing some fantastic team play.

Well done, boys! A fantastic team effort!
