Frodsham Town 0 – 7 Egerton Pumas U9’s

From the off, the Pumas were hungry for goals dominating the early exchanges and making it difficult for the opposition to get out of their own half and threaten Matt Willis’ goal. It was only a matter of time before the deadlock was broken and it came from the usual sources as Jack Curbishley made a great round down the right before squaring unselfishly for Stan Smith to slide in and push the ball past the keeper. Ben Henthorn got his name on the scoresheet when he found himself in the right place to poke the ball in as it fell loose from a corner. Every time Egerton went forward it seemed they might score as Jack Curbishley went desperately close with a close range header and Mitchell Brown forced the keeper to push a goal bound effort round the post. The pressure was finally converted into another goal when once again Jack Curbishley put aside thoughts of the Golden Boot to set up Stan Smith for a tap-in and to seal victory before half time. At the re-start Egerton added to their tally when Man of the Match Tom Quenby released Bradley Hargreaves down the right who accelerated into space before blasting the ball into the roof of the net. Freddie Sass and Liam Birney were giving the Frodsham midfield a tough workout running the ball out of defence and launching counter attacks. The two combined and a sweet cross by Liam Birney was met with an even sweeter side foot volley by Bradley Hargreaves giving the keeper no chance. Jack Curbishley again was the provider setting up Tom Quenby to get in on the scoring and act. Fittingly Jack finished the scoring off with the team’s seventh just before the end.
