Heighington FC U11 v Consett Dragons U11
Heighington sported their smart new home kit for the first time, generously sponsored by Fisk Services. The lads faced tough opponents in Consett Dragons and the game was a thriller.
Both teams went at it from the off but, despite chances at both ends, the deadlock was never broken.
That was in so small part to sterling defending from both back lines, notably a mighty performance from Jacob in the Heighington goal and astute sweeping and tackling from John.
The home team never quite hit their stride with their passing and moving, but made up for that with effort.
Cameron and William showed particular tenacity in midfield and Tommy, too, was typical of this Heighington team’s ongoing development as he mixed attacking wing play with mature tracking back to help his defence.
MOTM went to Jacob for his excellent goalkeeping, saving sharply with strong hands and rushing out to smother or clear the danger when needed.
