With determination and the threat of defeat from the very youthful opposition, the parents were looking concerned even before the game began.

Ellie and Millie Morris decided they were going to wear their dad, Richard, down and took him on with conviction. With Millie displaying some great manoeuvres to bamboozle the opposition and Ellie’s speed and endurance, Richard was certainly been dealt with toughly.

Ellie powered on through and scored a magnificent goal for her team.

With Stacey Bryon taking on the quiet approach and displaying good positioning and placement on the field, daughter Lucy kept up the pressure and snuck through to score a brilliant goal early in the game.

Abby Crowe was all over the field, ducking and weaving around the unsteady legs of the less flexible members of the adult team and set herself up for a number of close attempts at goal. With dad Grant arriving as an extra substitute for some weary adult players, Abby was still not deterred.

Jesse Griffith did a great job in goalie in the first half and when having a run up the field in the second half produced a great header and made his father, Brad, look a little lost on the field when he stole the ball off him countless times with some fancy footwork.

Stuart Hitchens played brilliantly in back position, once again, and was the saviour for his team with some huge kicks up the field. Mum, Sam, managed to keep up the pressure though and produced an amazing shot to score for her team. Dad Steve, courageously took on goalie for his team and managed to save many goals much to the disappointment of the determined under 9s.

With Tina Overton looking way too energetic to start with and sneakily placing herself quietly near her goal area to pull off a great goal, James, her son, came back with a vengeance to show how it was done with youthfulness and determination and placed himself brilliantly to score a fantastic goal for his team in the second half.
