Sutton Juniors u7A v Settle Juniors u7 (DFL League Game)

This match had to be moved to Sandylands due to the condition of the home pitch following the recent poor weather. Settle kicked off and Sutton quickly closed down the opposition to gain early control of the game. The midfield trio of Aidan Lee, Daniel Mason and Stan Lloyd were all passing and dribbling the ball confidently through and around the opposition with Stan Lloyd making some great runs and crosses down the right wing. Following a mazy dribble Daniel Mason was brought down on the edge of the area. The player picked himself up to take the resultant freekick and unleashed a piledriver which flew into the goal off the underside of the crossbar. Another goal followed when a pass from Daniel Mason saw Matthew Broadbent slot the ball into the goal. Despite the 2-0 lead Sutton were still having to defend especially down their left hand side which was seeing a great tussle between the Settle right winger and Aidan Lee with also Sam Benson and Addison Willis both displaying great calmness and composure. Matthew Broadbent nearly added a 2nd to his tally when an attempted overhead kick grazed the bottom upright, then just before halftime a neat finish saw Daniel Mason extend the lead to 3-0. Despite the 1st half domination from the yellow and blacks the start of the 2nd half saw Sutton start a little bit apprehensive with Settle mustering a couple of attacks to no avail. Stan Lloyd then blitzed down the right wing and put a wicked cross in only for the Settle defender to unfortunately turn the ball into his own net. Daniel Mason followed up soon after tucking away a left foot drive into the bottom corner for a well deserved hat-trick to make the game 5-0. With the opposition tiring Sutton continued to play attractive, passing football with Sam Benson moving up into a more attacking role. Matthew Broadbent then grabbed 2 further goals to bag yet another hat-trick, the last of which was a powerful left foot drive. Both Stan Lloyd and Aidan Lee nearly added to the scoreline before the end when Stan Lloyd connected onto a cross and shot 1st time only to see it go just wide and then Aidan Lee dribbled past 3 players to see his goal bound shot brilliantly blocked at the last second by the Settle defender. An outstanding display by all the team and possibly their best overall performance of the season so far against strong opposition. Keep up the good work boys.

Sutton Juniors u7A v Settle Juniors u7 (Friendly Game)

This match saw a few changes for the Sutton team from the 1st game. Settle started the 1st 5 minutes of the game the more stronger team, however, Sutton soon fought their way back into it with some good breaks lead by Jack Beck, Joe Beck and Callum Filkin. One such break lead to the opening goal for Sutton when a through ball from Addison Willis saw Callum Filkin break from the half way line and crack a right footed drive off the inside right upright to score his debut goal for the club. Settle came back at Sutton during the 1st half but some great defensive work from the continually improving Tommy Davis and the ever energetic Flynn Weller helped Sutton go into half time with a clean sheet. In the 2nd half Sutton were back in control of the game with Joe Beck and Sam Benson covering most of the pitch. Sutton continued to pile forward looking for the 2nd goal with Sam Benson going close. The 2nd goal did come when Daniel Mason burst through the Settle defence to score. A 3rd goal nearly followed when a speedy break down the left saw a great cross from Sam Benson with his weaker foot latched upon by Joe Beck at full stretch on the penalty spot only for his shot to just go agonisingly wide. Another clean sheet and another great effort.
