12 September 2012: Friendly against New Street
A great full squad turn-out gave CK Andover U11s their first game together as a team on the full sized pitch at Barrow Hill. An even start to the first half with all players giving 100% and with Ben Malden Gibbins playing an outstanding game with some superb shot stopping saves but unfortunately found CK trailing 2-0 after 20 minutes. Layton Tulk then scored his first CK goal just before half time to make it 2-1. No more than the team deserved after the effort they had all put in.
The 2nd half kicking down should have been easier and with plenty of possession and good passing football, CK could have easily levelled the score, but with some good goal keeping from New Street they were denied. New Street caught us on the counter-attack and scored a further 2 goals. Final score 4-1 win to New Street.
The score does not reflect the effort put in by all the players, so well done to everyone. Looking forward to the next match.
