A Team

On Wednesday 7th October St. James’ A Football team went to Claremont to play a match. The game kicked off and we had possession. We had lots of shots and so did Claremont, but both keepers kept strong. Then late into the first half we had an attack. Joe B put through a ball, Joe T chased it and he was one on one with the keeper, before calmly putting it past him. It was then half time. Claremont had a quick break and had a shot from long range, Josh pulled off an amazing save! They took the corner quickly and Joe T headed it clear. There was a break and Joe B smashed it up the pitch, Claremont’s keeper came out and miss kicked the ball, Joe then took it round the keeper and scored a great goal the final score was 2-0 to St. James’.
