The U14’s bounced back from their first defeat in 2015 two weeks ago, with a 5-1 home win against Spraire Lads, who are a division up from us. Goals from Adam Scott, Liam Wright, James Le Poidevin, Trialist, and Jamie Barr. MOM was the trialist who played well throughout and made a real impact on top of his goal.
