MIDLANDS COUNTIES YOUTH LEAGUE U16
Sunday 24th October 2009
DERBYSHIRE F.A. U16 3 V 1 HEREFORDSHIRE F.A. U16
An excellent all round team display saw Derbyshire triumph over Herefordshire on Sunday.
After a lively opening Derbyshire took the lead on the 9th minute when Tom Lewis squared the ball into the path of Ashley Hayes whose impressive low-angled drive was so powerful that keeper James Combe was well beaten.
Derby increased their lead in the 36th minute when, after a quick break down the left Tom Lewis, rounded the Hereford defence and calmly slotted home into the bottom corner, giving Derbyshire a deserved two-goal half-time lead.
Derby began the second half as they left off and within a minute went 3-0 up through Ross Coxon’s clinical finish. As Derbyshire started to take their foot off the pedal Hereford came more into the game but the home side defence stood firm. The few attempts Derby had on goal were handled with ease by the Hereford keeper.
In the final minute Hereford were rewarded for their determination with a goal from Brad Williams.
