Finn had a really good start to the game and found himself through on goal from the right side of the box but last minute block from the defender denied him at the very last minute. Church Lane started to build the pressure and a long throw in was deflected in from a goal mouth scramble to give Church Lane a 1-0 lead. We kept up the pressure up until half time but could not find that second goal.

Second half began with Helpringham starting the half as a stronger team, putting Church Lane under a lot of pressure and making the defence work hard to keep the clean sheet. A Helpringham player found himself edge of the box and took a shot at goal, but thankfully it was straight at Frankie who was playing his first game in goal.

Eventually Church Lane found that second goal which game from a big goal kick that the defender missed the bounce that Sam found himself on the end of playing the pass across to Mika who slotted it home to make it 2-0.

Kirkby then came back strong, but our defence stood firm until a mix up in communication between goalie and defender lead to the keeper bringing down the attacker, which resulted into a penalty and was taken very well.

Church Lane made a few changes, they started to move the ball round with Finn, playing his first match for the school, finding himself on the end of a goal kick but only to hit the side netting. Max was a threat all half and with his direct running Max found himself on the scoresheet when he went past two defenders to slot the ball home in the bottom corner.

In the second half, Church Lane came flying out of the blocks and put all the pressure on Kirkby, which they stood very strong and defended very well. Mika had a great chance as the ball looped over the defence he took a first time shot but it was straight at the keeper.

The game was played in a great spirit on a very warm afternoon. Final score 2-1 to Church Lane.
