Summer Match Results and Stats
Sat 10th May Elvington Away Won 3-1
Town were
away this weekend playing an 11aside friendly at Elvington in
preparation for next seasons.
On a very hot day the temperature made it difficult at times but both
teams played some great football.
Luke Day in goals made a few early saves with a back four of Reece Carr,
man of the match Joel Hobson, Thomas Whitton and George Mitchell. In
midfield it was Reuben Kirsch, Conor Hutchinson, James Cheung and Nathan
Morrisroe. With a front two of Louis Watton and Connor Hughes. It was
end to end football Town had a few chances to score but Elvington keeper
was in top form. Subs Ross Williams for Watton and Michael Crossley for
Kirsch came on after 15mins. Connor Hughes put Town in front with a
sweet shot into the roof of the net, he made it 2-0 just before the
break.
In the 2nd half Watton came on for Hughes and Kirsch for Hutchinson. It
was Elvington that came closest when they got a penalty after a fowl by
Hobson. But the strike was over the bar. Both sides looked good going
forward. Then subs Hughes on for Cheung and Hutchinson for Crossley.
Then Town went to sleep at a corner and Elvington pulled a goal back to
make it 2-1 and they pushed on for an equaliser. But Town were not
finished and after a spell of great football Town had about 10 shots
from inside the area it was quite funny to be honest has Elvington just
couldn’t clear their lines but town couldn’t hit the net. But Town
continued to press on and Kirsch finished off a nice move to make it 3-1
at the final whistle.
A big thank you to Elvington for their hospitality and looking forward
to the rematch at Castleford in June.
