The mighty Red and Blacks, Heighington AFC under 9s played their first league game today. Playing against Whiteleas Warriors at Castleview. We ran out 5-3 winners in an excellent match. Despite using 2 outfield players as stand in keepers, both Dylan and Oliver C, they pulled off some brilliant saves. Our defence of Oliver Y, Ollie A, Hayden and Lily all took turns to keep things really tight at the back and made some really important interceptions and clearances. In midfield we had Oliver M, Cole, Joshua and Dylan (2nd half) who all worked extremely hard with some excellent passing moves. Up front we had Benjamin and Oliver C (1st half) taking turns driving the opposition defence crazy with some great footwork and plenty of pressure. Goals went to 2 x Oliver C, 1 x Cole, 1 x Benjamin and 1 x Dylan. Man of the Match, chosen by the opposition manager went to Cole for covering nearly every blade of grass on the pitch.
Massive well done to the mighty Red and Blacks, sponsored by MAF plumbing, heating and gas services.
