Cropredy travelled to Abingdon Tilsley park to play against ASFA in a friendly.
It was a cool start to the morning with kick off at 10am.
Both teams were ready to start and Cropredy had kick off.
Cropredy started well with some good passing and you could see the confidence in the team.
It wasn’t long when Cropredy started to create chances and could of been a goal up with in 5 mins.
After about 10 mins Kayden broke free down the right wing cut in and found himself one on one with the keeper but he didn’t panic, he calmly went round the keeper and slotted it into the goal.
ASFA came back at us with some good football and pressing us well.
We were pinned back a bit in our half and we started to just kick the ball and losing our composer.
We managed to see it out and we started to take control again of ball and we started passing it well again.
In the second half Cropredy started well again winning their tackles and creating a lot of chances.
ASAF couldn’t get a foot in the game and with cropredy putting more pressure on them it was a matter of time that Cropredy would get there reward and it came when Cropredy won a penalty for hand ball.
Riley stepped up and with confidence hit it low to the bottom right the keeper had no chance.
Cropredy were in full control and never looked like conceding and saw the game out comfortably.
Review: Cropredy played really well and you could see the belief in the team from the start.
Again the passing from the back was great and the transition from midfield to the wings and forward was quicker and i was really pleased with the way we tried to win the ball back quickly.
It was a well deserved win.
MOM: Max received this due to playing out from the back through to midfield and working hard in winning his tackles and most importantly listening to the coaches instructions.
Well done.
Next opposition is Banbury Utd u12 at NOA on the nursery pitch which will be 9v9.👍🏻
