UNDER 12 MATCH REPORT: LEFC 3 - 3 Allestree Junior Colts

Scorers:Kieron, Ryan & Matt H

Assists: William, William/James, Matt D/Ahmed

Man of the match: Ahmed (not his best game but made a concerted effort, particularly in the second half, to help the team defend and not go glory hunting)

After the match Matt D thought he’d make his Mum happy by doing a bit of vacuuming. 5 minutes later, after an argument with a frayed carpet, the smoke filled front room looked like something out of a war zone. This pretty much summed up the match in the morning – on 3 occasions we took the lead and looked as though we would clean up the points. On 3 occasions Allestree equalised and our dreams went up in a puff of smoke.

I still can’t work out whether my glass is half full or half empty. If I could only implant my brain and sense of responsibility into the lads we’d be an amazingly good team but I guess that would take away all of the fun and excitement. There is massive room for improvement all over the pitch but there were – as ever – some encouraging signs.

The Squad: Tom S, Anupam, Sajid, Matt D, Nass, Matt H, James, Robbie, Ahmed, Cedrick, William, Ryan, Kieron
