On a chilly morning, our U10 boys faced off against Minehead on the 3G pitch at Court Fields .
The atmosphere was great, as parents and supporters turned out to cheer on the young boys. From the first whistle, Wellington displayed a remarkable level of skill and teamwork which showcased their dedication to the game.
Wellington’s players embraced a lovely, passing style of football. They consistently sought to create opportunities by utilising bounce passes and effectively switching play across the pitch.
This dynamic approach kept Minehead on their toes and often left them struggling to keep up with Wellington’s fluid play.
Defensively, both goalkeepers played a high line, which proved effective in tackling Minehead’s strikers before they could pose a serious threat.
This proactive strategy from the back allowed Wellington to regain possession quickly and transition back into attack almost seamlessly.
Every player contributed positively, demonstrating resilience and a spirited attitude which reflected the core values of the club.
The match was a true showcase of Wellington’s potential, as they finished the day by winning all four games and astonishingly scoring a total of 28 goals.
Jack netted eight goals, while Rex, Rowan and Fraser also made significant contributions with four, three and three respectively.
The scoring was well-distributed throughout the team, with Louis (two) Riley (two), Ruslan (two), Harry, George, Harrison, and Bertie each adding to the tally.
However, this match wasn’t solely about the goals. The collective spirit and team play on display were commendable.
Each player, from the goalkeepers to the forwards, played a vital role in this impressive victory and demonstrated the importance of teamwork throughout the matches.
Kudos to all the players who showcased their skills and sportsmanship, making the day a resounding success.
Special thanks to kit sponsor, Roadchef, and jacket sponsor, R&M Motors, for their support.
Well done, boys, on a fantastic performance.
