Half time: Football Dreams U11 1 – 1 Springfield Park JFC

Springfield Park were playing ping pong in the opposition box when Jack Kelly kicked the ball overhead, which the Dreams keeper wasn’t expecting, and the ball went into the back of the net.

Jacob Warrener was taken down in the box and Taylor Wilson stepped up to score the penalty.

A Dan Johnson free kick rifled past the Dreams keeper for the final goal.

Springfield Park Manager, Eugene Warrener said: “Hopefully all of the children left with a smile this weekend because they enjoyed playing football with their mates, and that is what we should always be aiming for.

“It wasn’t as one-sided as the score suggests, both teams played well. Football Dreams are a very good team who play fair, attractive football and are coached well. It was nice to have some banter on the line with the opposition coach for a change, that makes it fun for me too.”
