Match report From Under 10,s 2007/2008 Season.
Sturminster Marshall Youth FC
VS
Poole Borough FC
Sunday 9th March at 2pm on Churchill Close,Sturminster Marshall saw the kick off of the Dorset Mini Soccer League section 3 game between leaders SMYFC and struggling Poole Borough. A point from the game would be enough to see Sturminster clinch the league title with a game to spare.
Sturminster were ready and fired up for the game, they started from the kick off with a fine attacking move that ended with number 11 Graham finding the back of the net to open the scoring inside the first minute. A second goal was added minutes later by number 5 Oliver after he rounded the two defenders and nutmeged the goalkeeper. A period of play then followed that saw wave after wave of attack on the Poole Borough goal. The score line was not increased due to some fine goalkeeping and a strong goalpost and crossbar that took several powerful knocks,none more so than Jay's fine free-kick from outside the area. Halfway through the half saw a tactical change from Sturminster Marshall manager Merrick Smith as he added Ryan to the attack. Ryan proceeded to net a first half hat-trick in only ten minutes on being on the field. The last of these three goals was quite possibly the goal of the season when the ball was played out to Brad on the left wing from the captain Harry from inside his own half,Brad charged down the line out pacing 2 defenders before centring a perfect cross on to the oncoming Ryan who met the ball full on the volley,The ball rocketed past the helpless keeper into the net. Johnny then added a sixth to tack them to half time.
Sturminster started the second half as they had finished the first and Harry fired in a shot from the halfway line. They then added a further 2 goals from Jay and an own goal that got deflected in at the front post by an unlucky Poole Borough defender direct from a corner kick by Harry.
The score now stood at 11-0 and sturminster now had only one mission left to get a TWELTH goal that would see them record 100 goals for the season, but time and the Poole Borough keeper were against them so the elusive goal would have to be sought in next weeks home match with second place Heathland High Flyers.
Well done to all the players and staff at Sturminster Marshall on their success.
