Strong, adventurous and united are apt words to describe the Under 12s performance against Broadclyst this Saturday. The home side demonstrated their hunger and passion by pressing the visitors throughout the match and making sure that their quality prevailed.
In an excellent team performance it was striker Cayleb Field that created the breakthrough when he received in the box and was fouled to win a penalty. He dispatched the spot kick and United were ahead. Next it was winger Owen Brady making the difference. First, he won a tackle in the box which Jack Greaves latched on to making it 2-0. Then Brady found midfield maestro Dylan Mogford who shot passed the keeper. Brady's Bolt-like pace down the right wing was a continued threat. It was almost four when Kuba Strzalkowski made a superb run and squared for Jay Leballeur who struck just wide.
After the break Harry Bassett was calm on the edge of the box to assist Leballeur who tucked the ball in at the far post. Exmouth then raised their game and started littering the opposition goal with shots. Finn Glanfield, Mogford and Field hitting some outstanding strikes but the pick of the bunch came from centre-back Bryn Stephens who rattled the bar from outside the box.
Seb Harrison delivered a superb corner which Glanfield headed in to make it five. Then winger Lewis Evans, who had been running the defence ragged all day, scored the pick of the bunch when he dribbled past three defenders and smashed it in. The final goal came from another excellent corner that was coolly headed in by Mogford for his brace.
Although a quiet day in defence, Lewis Alford (goalkeeper), Harry Kifli-Reynolds and Tom Price didn't put a foot wrong at the back. Overall it was a superb exhibition of football from a confident team playing with a really professional attitude.
