A super performance from the Bulls against good quality opposition.
Upton Youth are already preparing for life in Division B next season and used the match to trial several new players. Using several subs gave the home team the advantage of fresh legs on a warm day, but it was the Bulls superior teamwork that won the day.
A hard fought first half ended goalless, with the Bulls strikers being shadowed by a mountain of a defender and the Bulls defenders coping well with the fast and skilful Upton attack.
The Bulls have practised corner kicks almost every week this season and early in the second half they showed what a great attacking weapon it can be. Janni ran in to connect with Max's wicked, whipped corner and his header flew into the net like a bullet. Unstoppable! One-nil to the Bulls...
Motm Callum created the second goal, steaming through the Upton defence before picking out Olly's perfectly timed box-to-box run. Great team play. Two-nil away, against the champions!
Upton Youth kept battling to get back into the game, but the Bulls put the game beyond doubt with a great passing move. Josh (who had another awesome game in defence - fast, strong, determined- super performance!) won yet another tackle on the edge of the Bull's area and broke quickly out of defence. Looking up, he found Callum in space with a perfect pass. Callum sprinted towards goal and slipped the ball past the home defence to leave Max one-on-one against the Upton keeper. An ice-cool finish - 0-3!
An excellent all-round performance. Well organised in defence, fierce in midfield, deadly in attack. Well done Bulls, keep it up!
