Sandbach United 3 – 2 Egerton Panthers U9’s

A strong Sandbach side nicked the victory in a close fought contest. Despite a bright start to the game, Egerton found themselves one down but persevered with a slick passing game. Luke Granger played a marvellous through ball the length of the pitch to release Andy Price but the keeper parried his goal bound effort. At the other end Mitchell Brown showed great commitment throwing himself full length to deny the opposition another opportunity and protect the overworked Jasper Kearns. Man of the match Ben Haselden repeated the trick with another block to stop a certain goal. Straight after the break, Egerton were on level terms when Adam Lee broke down the left and the clearance fell to Ed Franklin who made no mistake in putting the ball beyond the keeper into the corner of the net. Leo Buckley almost gave the Panthers the lead with a shot that was narrowly wide. Paolo Tabone and Archie Phillips were carving out chances at one end and working hard to stop them at the other. The Panthers took the lead when Adam Lee scored a fine individual goal chasing down a throw in to win possession before unleashing a screamer into the roof of the net from a tight angle. Sandbach responded well and worked a nice goal from a corner to equalise. As Egerton pressed for a winner, Sandbach broke to clinch a narrow victory with virtually the last kick of the game.


Team: Adam Lee; Andy Price; Archie Phillips; Ben Haselden; Ed Franklin; Jasper Kearns; Leo Buckley; Luke Granger; Mitchell Brown; Paolo Tabone
