Bulls 13 Thames Valley Youth Blues 1

The Bulls stormed to the top of the league, going goal-crazy against the division's bottom team at Farnham Park.


On a pitch that resembled Shrek's swamp, the aggressive Bulls midfield quickly took charge. The Thames Valley goal lived a charmed life at times during a first half of relentless Bulls pressure, but once Ollie's penalty had put the Bulls ahead the floodgates opened.


Set the challenge of becoming the first team in the league to record double figures, at half-time the Bulls were exactly on course. 5-0!



As the match wore on it became harder and harder to identify the Bulls goalscorers...



Despite the energy-sapping mud, the Bulls kept up the momentum throughout the second half and the goals kept coming. From back to front the Bulls played very well. Dan made a strong return to the team, the Bulls defence were as energetic as ever, Callum and Max seem to have added regular goal-scoring to their usual hard work and teamplay, Luke showed great finishing to grab FIVE (!) goals.


MOTM deservedly went to Oliver Pritchard. Ollie's tackling, running and unselfish passing created chance after chance for his teammates. Well done, Ollie. An excellent performance.

I think it would be remiss not to mention at this point that the team we see now is such a changed side from a year ago and to go from a team that was struggling to one that is well formed, train hard and play outstanding football against tough teams is a fantastic result and certainly heart warming for both players and parents. It is great to see the boys with smiles on their faces when they know they have played well and it is a testament to both the team and Steve as the coach that they are top of the league. Congratulations !!
