Date: 11 September 2010
Location: Windmill Centre, Deddington
Teams: Deddington Town Colts Tigers v Hook Norton
Age Group: Under 11s – B League
Score: 0-3
Report:
The Tigers started their step up to 11-a-side football with a tough opening game against
a strong and well-organised Hook Norton side. Early Hook Norton pressure brought good
saves from keeper Ben Ward. However, in the ninth minute Hook Norton took the lead.
However Ben Ward took a knock in a collision with the goal scorer, and had to come off.
Jake Hope stepped up to the mark and came on to replace him. Deddington defended
comfortably until just before half time, when a shot from former Deddington player Johnnie
Parker took a deflection past the keeper. The Tigers played well after half time, and were
unlucky not to pull a goal back with William Staples coming close and forcing their keeper to
make a number of saves. It was not to be the Tigers day, and with four minutes left, Hook
Norton put the game beyond doubt with a close range finish. This was a well-deserved win
for Hook Horton, who always looked in control, but there were good all round performances
from the Tigers.
Player of the Match: Charlie Ellis
