Youth Results - Saturday 2nd April
Hereford FC U15s 7 - 1 Evesham Utd U15s
Hereford U15s hosted Evesham Utd at Victoria Park. Goals from Oliver
Purdy, Jack Marston (2), Jake Spink (2), Liam Bishop (2) sealed a
convincing win. First half Hereford looked sloppy and a number of
mistakes meant they found themselves on the back foot and defending but
never really gave Evesham any good opportunities to score. Score at half
time was 1-0 Hereford.
Second half was far better and a big improvement
from the players who began to communicate, organise each other and play
some excellent football. Evesham equalised after a mistake by Hereford
but that was to be their last real opportunity with Hereford dominating
the second half, scoring a further 6 goals. Lots of praise for Evesham
though who kept going, worked hard and defended very well.
The U15s will travel to Wimborne next weekend for their Cup quarter final fixture and they can take away lot's of positives from the game and alot of confidence. The game provided a number of areas to improve that they will look to address this week and put right next week!
Evesham Utd U13s 1 - 2 Hereford FC U13s
Following an uninspiring 4-0 defeat to Evesham United a few weeks
previous, the Under 13s set about putting things right this morning. The
lads started brightly and were briefed on how to react and deal with
the direct approach of our hosts. The Hereford boys were intent on
moving the ball quickly from the off and the pace upfront forced Evesham
to defend very deep. This allowed our creative midfielders more space
to get on the ball.
Hereford broke the deadlock with a following move, played from back
to front with Ollie Guinane slotting past the keeper. Unfortunately
scoring led to a short period of complacency and our hosts equalised
with a sloppy goal from our point of view.
However, undeterred Hereford went for
the win and changed shape to allow for an extra forward. The change had
an instant impact and a sustained period of pressure resulted in a
Evesham defender turning a dangerous cross into his own net.
The lads continued to attack and never
looked like conceding again. This game was used as a measure of
improvement and the boys should be delighted with their continued
development and leaves them on a four game winning streak.
WBA Stroud U12s 2 - 3 Hereford FC U12s
Hereford travelled to Stroud for an entertaining game.
The game was played at a high tempo which suited this young Hereford
side. Hereford kept the ball well in the opening parts of the game,
moving the ball quickly and playing some good free flowing football. As a
result of this excellent play, Hereford scored two goals from Sam
Griffiths and Harry Pitman.
WBA got back into the game with two quick goals with a lack of
concentration in the Hereford defence allowed WBA to goals. After that
Hereford regained the majority of possession and the free flowing
football which has served them well this season. Both teams found it
hard to break each other down until Sam Griffiths picked up possession
just inside the WBA half and hit an early shot, which flew into the next
off the bar!! Final score 3-2 to Hereford!!
