Kirkheaton Tigers 3-1 Kirkburton 'B'
(George 10', Karam 32' 41')
This game was the most entertaining out of both this morning's home matches! We played with a high tempo, quick to win the ball in midfield and make oppotunities infront of goal. The first saw Josh B rarely troubled in goal, but that was thanks to some solid defending, particularly from Josh Mets!. George put the Tigers 1-0 up with a fantastic top corner strike from outside the box!. Joseph also had a goal denied by the cross bar.
The 2nd half saw kirkburton trying to get back into the game, but Josh B played a nice pass to Karam on his right, who took on a defender to then smack the ball, which the keeper could only palm into the net...2-0.
More pressing play and good defending from Theo, Josh Mets and Devon enabled us to keep creating chances further up the field. Karam again having a few chances before finally 'lobbing' the keeper into the top corner! 3-0
A consolation goal was scored, and there was a mad scramble in front of our goal as Georgio could only watch as a Kirkburton shot hit the post, bounced back out, feet everywhere.....and eventually shot wide!!
A really good effort from the Tigers and a well deserved win!
