Balham v Foresters
20 Mar 2007
U13s draw again
BALHAM BLAZERS 2 FORESTERS U13 2
This week’s match had everything. If it was excitement we wanted, Foresters certainly delivered plenty of that!
It was tough going for the youngsters as they were playing against the wind in the first half, but this did not affect their quality on the ball as they had most of the possession, not only in the first half, but throughout the game.
Unfortunately football can be a cruel game and after ten minutes Balham had a one-goal lead. Foresters pushed on, and managed to clinch a goal back when Luke Mathias calmly looked up, picked a spot, and drove it home to draw level 1-1.
Foresters carried on the pressure and at times it seemed Balham could rarely keep the ball out of their own half and they were made to pay when Luke Mathias scored his second just minutes from the final whistle to make it 2-1 to Foresters.
A win in the bag? Balham had other ideas and spoiled the party shortly afterwards when, with seconds to go, they equalised to make the final score 2-2.
Foresters were relentless in their determination this week and were so unlucky to go away with a draw.10/10 for effort - well done boys!
