🏆 Y8 MATCH REPORTS ⚽️

The Y8 football team have had a great start to the year with 2 wins and a loss that could have very easily been another win! 🔴⚪️

Dyke House 2–1 St Leonard’s

The first game of the season saw DHA come away with a well-earned victory ...against a decent St Leonard’s side. A fantastic first-game performance from the lads saw them sitting comfortably at 2-0 before the St Leonard’s captain scored a screamer late on. The lads showed great character to see out the game as deserved winners! 💪

🏅 Men of the Match: Jenson C, Yusuf J, and Zack W — made the step up to Y8 from Y7 and performed with bravery and class. 👏
⚽️ Goals: Boston W, Bobby M

⚔️ Dyke House 4–6 Macmillan

An excellent team performance against a strong Macmillan side. DHA were 4-1 down at half-time despite having a lot of the ball and creating many chances. Two early strikes after half-time made the game 4-3 before Macmillan made it 5-3. Dyke House clawed back again with another goal before Macmillan sealed the game with a 6th. On another day, Dyke House may have come out on top in this high-scoring thriller, but it wasn’t meant to be! 🔥

🏅 Man of the Match: Theo G — a constant threat down the right-hand side ⚡️
⚽️ Goals: Theo G (2), Boston W (2)

⚔️ Dyke House 10–1 Mortimer

Another SUPERB performance from the Y8 players, where every single player can be proud of their dominant performance! 🌟 DHA took control early with 4 first-half goals, the reward for free-flowing attacking play and solid defensive work. 🛡️

The second half brought more of the same, including some unbelievable strikes from Theo G, Bobby M, and Boston W! 🚀

🏅 Men of the Match: Not one player could be marked lower than a 10/10 for their efforts throughout the game! 💯
🌟 Special Mention: Cole M — described as 'Prime Neymar' on the left-hand side, constantly causing problems for the Mortimer back line. 🪄
⚽️ Goals: Boston W (4), Bobby M (3), Theo G (2), Cole M (1)

🙌 Huge well done to all the lads involved! 🔴⚪️
