MARDEN HIGH – 1 : 6 – ST. THOMAS MORE

Marden’s Year 7s were beaten 6-1 in their first ever game at home to St. Thomas More in a rain-sodden encounter at home on Monday evening.  It was a tough start, going down 4-0 at half time after a defensive slip and a fluked cross caught the U12s out, but there was an encouraging second half performance, with Aaron Gordon scoring a well taken deflected free-kick to pull it back to 5-1 before a penalty for Tommy More ended the scoring.

Well done to all involved for a spirited performance.

MARDEN HIGH – 0 : 6 – VALLEY GARDENS

The lads had an early chance to regroup with a home game against Valley Gardens on Thursday 25th, but conceded 6 again as they went down to a very strong Valley Gardens side.  It was a more organised and gutsy performance, holding at 0-0 for over half of the first half before Valley’s dominance showed and Marden were 2 down by half time.

Marden ‘keeper Grant made some excellent stops to keep Valley Gardens at bay, but the away side kept pushing right to the end and kept up the pressure with some slick moves and good finishes, running out 6-0 winners in the end.
