Marden Bridge – 5 : 2 – Marden High

Match Report

On Friday 1st February, Mr. Prytherch took his Year 7 lads down the road to Marden Bridge Middle School, for a tough game on the full sized astroturf pitch.

After a strong opening fifteen minutes, the home side took the lead against the run of play with their first shot at goal, and suddenly Marden Bridge found the confidence to race into a 3-0 lead by half time.  A soft penalty made it 4-0 in the opening few minutes of the second half, before a change in formation allowed Marden to launch a comeback which saw wingers Ben McDermott and Lucas Sutherland pull goals back.

Alas, it wasn’t to be, and as we pressed for a winner, our rivals added another late on to seal a 5-2 victory, but it was a vast improvement on the opening two games for the Year 7s, who had previously lost both games, scoring just one and conceding twelve.

Well done to all in the squad for their effort.
