Wow what a day...
Bristol Utd only had one team to enter on this occassion but what a fantastic advertisment for our club.
Boiling hot day, focussed teams all around with hunger in their eyes, coaches doing final preperations getting ready for the off.
A great start for our team with good attacking football a real pleasure for the onlookers, Our play was solid with new boy Aaron between the sticks stopping what little came his way. Charlie Thompson, Mason Wilson & Thomas Broome formed a solid wall of defence which inspired confidence for our midfield to play without fear or concern. Miles Scott was as ever the workhorse of the team defending and attacking when required linking up with our flamboyant playmaker Lucas Tomlinson. Jake Henderson was superb on the right firing in crosses all day long to our striker Alexander West who was clinical in the box.
