Before the game, the academy boys felt under a little bit of pressure after recent criticism. The college team were a mixture of academy, and normal college students (50/50). The college team kicked off and almost immediately Scott Dodgson won the ball and passed the ball to James Horne who spread the ball to our left back Daryl kewley, Daryl playing on his weaker side plays a delightful ball down the wing to our man of the match Marc hagland who crossed the ball in and to his surprise and everyone elses the ball hit the post and went staright in after after 15 seconds. The academy dominated the first 30 minutes of the game with very little chances, but lots of possesion. Just before half time, the college team had a few chances, with Matt White going closes when he hit the post with a left foot strike from the edge of the box. Matt White had a very good game out on the left wing for the college team. Matt White is one of the many academy players playing for the college team. The others included Dave Kelly, Russell Cooper, Keiran James, Israa Sigola, Mario Panayiotoy, Jonny Briscombe, Rob Ralph, Daniel Endacott, Martin Ware. Chris Williams went closest to adding a second with a double header saved by Mario who was superb in goal.
