Chilcote vs Holy Souls

On Friday 5th May the Chilcote boys football team played their last league game of the season at Yardley Wood playing fields. The game was against Holy Souls, who had beaten Chilcote 5v2 earlier in the season. A win and Chilcote could still win the league, but a draw or defeat would mean their title challenge was over!

Chilcote started well and were dominating the ball and most of the football was played in Holy Soul's half. Unfortunately, not many clear cut chances were made. That was until Hasanain whipped in a corner to the near post and Cian got ahead of his marker to side foot the ball into the back of the net. A little later in the half and the same two players combined again Hasanain playing a little pass through the Holy Souls defence which Cian latched onto and slotted into the corner. The score was 2v0 at half time.

In the second half Holy Souls had the hill and the wind to aid them so Chilcote knew they would come under pressure. Holy Souls huffed and puffed but rarely tested Zach in the Chilcote goal. Leon and Scott were defending really well and Harry was shielding excellently in front of them. Cian had a couple of chances to wrap the game up but just couldn't find the target. Slowly but surely the time ticked away and Chilcote held on to their lead. They eventually won the game 2v0, which gives them a fighting chance of winning the league (dependent on other results). 

A fantastic result boys showing the progress that has been made this year! Well done to all involved!!!
