Football - Under 12's v Bishop's - Chester Cup - Lost 0 - 3

For three quarters of the first half the game was an even end to end cup tie, but 2 goals in 3 minutes from the visitors changed all that. 

The 2 – 0 scoreline at half time was harsh on the boys who had more than matched the opposition for effort and determination.  A third goal early in the second half meant that Abbey Gate had a mountain to climb, but the ‘never say die’ attitude saw the Bishop’s goalkeeper become the busier of the 2 keepers.  Some good saves, the woodwork and a missed penalty meant that we could not close the gap and unfortunately the boys bowed out of the competition.  They can however hold their heads up high and if they continue to show the same amount of application and team spirit then the results will come; everyone played their part in this good team performance.  Well done boys.
