On a wet and windy
Monday, the Year 5/6 A and B Football Teams played against St Michaels. The A
Team were first to play and what a match it was! Rydon took an early lead
before St Michaels equalised. After half-time, some great foot work saw Rydon
take a 3-1 lead, which was then followed up by two thunderous shots which
rattled St Michaels’ crossbar. St Michaels then pulled a goal back to make it
3-1 before a late penalty was awarded and scored. The match finished in a draw
- Rydon 3 St Michaels 3.
However, there was
no time to catch your breath as the B Team were on next. Rydon’s defence was
stalwart, but as a result of some horrific weather conditions, St Michaels took
an early lead. Some great passing saw Rydon come close on several occasions,
which produced some excellent saves from the opposing keeper. After the first half,
which unfortunately saw Rydon B 2-0 down, the team produced some world class
passing that opened up the St Michaels defence and clinical finishing saw Rydon
B pull a goal back. With minutes to spare, Rydon were pushing hard for an
equaliser. Unfortunately, St Michaels managed to get another late goal which
saw the game finish 3-1.
All the Rydon
players played brilliantly and several comments from spectators mentioned the
high standard of play as well as how exciting both games had been.
A big thank you
must go to the parents who helped with transport and supported all of the
children in some horrendous weather conditions.
