Wymondham Town United Youth Football Club

Costessey -v- Wymondham Town United

Result: 1 - 5 Win

Wymondham Town United U13 had a great start to the season beating Costessey 5-1 away.

The team settled in quickly with some excellent passing. It was 12 minutes in when Jack Morris scored from a precise Ben Swallow throw. The game continued at pace with the back four working hard and as a unit. Within a minute of the first goal Alex Wilson cleared up field to let a composed Harvey White break free to put one over the keeper. This was followed by some brilliant link up play with Joe Bush going for goal and Jack Morris leaving no doubt to see the ball into the net.

With the only mistake of the match Costessey found the net from a corner by finding the ball first. Jack Morris celebrated his hat-trick when Nick Parker curled one into the box for an exemplary finish.

Second half and up hill, Wymondham held their ground and started the half as they left off, with Joe Bush finding the net after a brilliant long pass from Josh Mellor, to make it 5.

Throughout the game both keepers made some very useful saves to keep Wymondham on top.

Man of the Match was awarded to Jack Morris.

The squad would like to thank Oaktree Flexible Business Units of Wymondham for their continued support in sponsoring them through to 2011.

Well that was a fabulous afternoon!

It started with a tour of the Norwich City stadium with the lads seeing the home and away dressing rooms, the trophy displays, the 59 Club, the Press Centre and the team restaurant before heading over to Carrow Park for some training with the FITC guys, Joe and Louis.

We then decided to have an adults vs team match - though we did steal ‘keeper Craig Woolrich to help with numbers - and the combined talents of the FITC guys, me, David Maran, Andrew Keeley and Michael Elvin reigned supreme.

A bunch of sweaty lads and even sweatier adults - and I use the term in its loosest sense - then scoffed our packed teas before heading home. The draw for the FITC goodies was won by Alex Maran.
