Hutchison Vale Colts 13s vs Seton Boys Club
Seton contolled the first 15
minutes of this match without really creating a good chance,but the better team
went behind when Marc Berry ran clear of the Seton defence and waltzed round
the keeper to roll into an empty net to make it 1-0 to Hutchie.That goal seemed
to spark a bit life into Hutchie and they went on to create several chances in
the next 15 minutes.Hutchie went 2-0 up when Mikey Reid scored from close range
wrong footing the keeper.It was looking good after weathering the storm Hutchie
seemed to be in control,but that was short lived and Seton came storming
back,hitting a post with a great shot then getting a deserved goal from a
corner that wasn't cleared on the stroke of half-time to make it 2-1.
Half-time Hutchie 2 Seton 1
The second half saw Seton continue
to play well and got a deserved equaliser to make it 2-2 early on in the
half.The strong wind wasn't helping Hutchie with a lot of passes missing their
target,but also Hutchie were not playing well as team, a lot of wrong decision
making was the problem,players holding on to the ball to long or
wanting to beat another player before shooting.Chances came and went at both
ends before the ref blew for full-time.
Full-time Hutchie 2
Extra time started well for
Hutchie,they took the lead again with sub Blair Lawson smashing home to make it
3-2.But yet again Hutchie switched off and let Seton back into the game.The
equaliser was the goal of the game with the Seton forward smashing home from
the edge of the box high into the net to make it 3-3.Seton got a deserved
winner with 5 minutes of extra-time remaining the ball lobbing over the
keeper for a 4-3 victory .
Final score Hutchie 3 Seton 4
The team that wanted to win more got the
victory,Hutchie were guilty of expecting to win rather than wanting to win.I
hope the players learn from this defeat because with a little more effort and
desire to push ourselves harder we would have won this match.But all credit to
Seton for not giving up when going behind.
