Mersey Vale vs St. Winifred's - Wednesday 13th November

On Wednesday 13th November, Mersey Vale's football team prepared to play St.WInifreds in a friendly match. Mersey Vale got off to a great start and won many corners in the first few minutes. Even though Mersey Vale didn't have Amaar, one of their best players, they still had a very good side. After about 8 minutes, Mersey Vale broke the ice! It was a St.Winifreds goal kick and the goalkeeper kicked it as far as Arran Pettifer (our centred midfielder) who struck the ball into the bottom right hand corner from the half way line. It was a glorious goal, but the lead didn't last for long...

St.Winifreds captain, Matthew, went on a run and passed the ball to their striker, who shot and Aquib (the Mersey Vale goalkeeper/captain) He made a terrific save only to find that Matthew was able to shoot into the top left hand corner just as the half time whistle blew.

In the second half, once again, MerseyVale had all the possession but never broke through. Both teams made substitutions which didn't change anything. In the finale seconds MVPS broke through...Arran had the ball, he passed it to Azeem who did a one two with Arran (two ver skilled  players) and......GOAL!!! Azeem, with the winner right on the full time whistle!

 A great victory for Mersey Vale.
