Egerton Pumas U9’s 4 – 0 Cuddington U9’s

Egerton ran out comfortable winners in a game where they created countless chances. Although, after a goal less first half, which included Matthew Willis crashing the ball against the bar and a missed penalty, it looked like the Pumas hundred per cent record might come to an end. That was until stand-in keeper Jack Curbishley went up front for the second half and helped himself to four goals and the man of the match of the award.
