The U15 Colts had to forget about their County Cup exit the week prior and focus on high flying Wallington in the league Cup this week, who are topping their league.
Abbey needed to be on it from the start ensuring they applied themselves in the manner expected and implementing the game plan that was set out by the coaches. The players did not disappoint and the difference in class was obvious to see in the first half.
On 10 minutes Carson Curtis broke down the right hand side with speed and crossed to Joshua Rowe to tap in to make it 1-0.
However, on 12 minutes Abbey were cauggt napping and very sloppy at the back to let Wallington in to equalise, 1-1.
This did not impact on Abbey and from then on they were pinging the ball around very well which resulted in some devastating finishing, whcih saw the Colts 6-1 up by half time. Goals came on 14 minutes when Joshua was brought down in the box and converted the spot kick, on 20 minutes when Luca Sorce threw the ball from a throw in to Carson who finished well, on 22 minutes when this time Joshua broke down the right crossing it to Carson to tap home, on 23 minutes when Joshua again broke down the right and crossed it for Archie Mendoza to score a rare goal, and on 38 minutes when George Masters took a strike from 20 yards out to only hit the bar but Joe Sandell was there to hand to tap it in.
Half time was positive and the message was to go out and score more, no holding back. However in the second half Wallington dug in to their credit and managed to contain us for a while but couldn't do it for the entire period as further goals came on 74 minutes when Joe Sandell took a free kick from all of 45 yards which found the back of the net, and the last goal was in the 76th minute when George Masters picked up the ball, took it past two of their players and finished clinically, final score 8-1.
MOM- Luca Sorce, really battled throughout the whole game breaking up play and imposing his physicality. Work rate and desire was also there to see in abundance. Also a mention to Ben Hall too was unplayable at times today and caused them so many problems down the right hand side.
