| Match report | Fulford were quickly into their stride using the benefit of the slope in the first half to keep a strong Brooklyn side penned into their own half, despite the early brightness of the Fulford display though it was Brooklyn who took the lead with a fine flowing move. Fulford kept busy with Jayden and Harry Lewis giving the Brooklyn defence plenty to think about, however an uncharacteristic slip in the Fulford defence presented Brooklyn with a chance that despite some great goalkeeping from Harry Cousins they refused to turn down. Staring at a 2 goal deficit with the prospect of the slope against them in the second half Fulford galvanised and hit back just before the break, the ever industrious Joseph feeding Harrison who crossed to find William free at the far post who duly converted to reduce the deficit. With the halftime whistle looming controversy reigned as what looked to all the world a brilliantly timed goal saving tackle by Joseph was ruled as a foul, but from the resultant penalty Harry pulled off a magnificent save. The second half saw Isobel introduced to the fray, however it was Brooklyn who extended their lead once more. With Isobel working tirelessly up front Fulford roared back into the game allowing Harrison to turn provider once more, finding Joseph who stormed forward and finished calmly. Another great Fulford move culminated in a free kick outside the Brooklyn box, with William stood over the ball it seemed for all the world that the only move on was to pass, but surprising everyone he stroked the ball through a melee of players and past a disbelieving goalkeeper to tie the game at 3:3. Player of the match: William - A wonderfully disciplined defensive performance with 2 great goals |
