CM U16s v CM U15s Friendly

A spirited friendly in played in excellent conditions.
The under 15s fielded 10 men for the first half and we soon went into the lead with a shot from Robbie from 20 yards out. This was followed by a great goal from Obaida when he scored directly from a corner after 20 minutes. A further goal from Jake meant we went three up after 25 minutes.
Full credit to the U15s who didn't let their heads go down and they were rewarded with a goal after 30 minutes. Five minutes late the U15s were awarded a penalty when Westy was judged to have fouled a player in the box. This was duly converted and the score at half time was 3-2.
To even things up a bit a rather slightly over age goalkeeper was added to the Under 15s side for the second half.
The U15s really upped their game after the break and got their equaliser after 60 minutes.
It became easy to see why the U15s have won all their league games in their A league and also why they score most of their goals towards the end of their games as they really battled hard for the winner. The U16 responded with some hard football and took a rare chance after 70 minutes when Kane slotted home what proved to be the winner.
It was a great friendly and the Under 15s played some excellent football, but the Under 16s were resolute and took their chances.
Many thanks again to Nick Penfold who ran the line in his usual professional way.
Our man of the match was goalkeeper Connor Penfold who made some brilliant saves especially in the second half.
