League: HTYFC 1- 2 Herons

Archie's first season of competitive football, 2 years ago, began against the same team, Hemel Town Youth, on the same pitch as the match today. Today was Archie's first competitive 11-a-side match and it also started with a win.

Herons kicked the game off and Archie started the game in left midfield alongside his good mates Connor (right wing), Riccardo (left wing) & Frankie (right mid). At first, the game was a little bit messy, lots of bundles running after the ball but it soon calmed down and some good passing football was played by both teams but it was Herons that look the team that was more likely to open the scoring. Archie was linking up really well with his fellow midfielders and also with the strikers and it was Kian (up front) who opened the scoring with a shot that sailed to the top left corner. 0-1.

HTYFC battled back but never really tested the Herons keeper, who incedidently was very vocal and very confident between the sticks. Around 10 minutes passed, Archie was switched to play up-front alongside Kian, and Herons were awarded yet another corner. Ric floated the ball across the goal mouth, there was a touch and the ball found its way to Archie on the far post. Needless to say, Archie being as clinical in front of goal as ever poked the ball home. 0-2.

The home team bagged an equaliser in the first half, a little before the half time whistle, but they didn't really pose a big threat during the second half. Archie was subbed for 5 or 7 minutes during the second half and was used as a striker and left mid throughout the game. The final whistle went, Archie and the boys were pleased to have bagged themselves 3 points. Frankie was awarded the Man of the Match medal.
