It was a scoreline which did not reflect the performance, as the U13 B team came out 1-0 losers to Lancing Prep. A wonderful outside of the box strike from the Lancing left winger put them ahead at half time, despite Farlington dominance on a pitch far larger than the team are used to. With countless touches in the opposition box, and opportunities squandered, there was a sense of injustice amongst the squad when the final whistle sounded. The team played brilliantly though, with some expertly worked moves stemming from Chris Riley at right-back, working the ball into midfield where Oliver Bristow and Callum George could progress the team up the pitch. The added physicality that came with the introduction of Kirill Oleinykov was also an added bonus. Overall, the boys can hold their heads high and consider themselves unlucky, but must also make sure that they keep the internal arguing to a minimum!
