Approaching the end of the season this tough match against Fleurs was a tricky fixture. With the U10 Hurricanes fighting for a promotion place Fleurs Victory could do Fleurs Nelson a favour by beating us . Eastlodge got off to a great start playing good football in the first 10 minutes. A number of chances were created but a mixture of good saves, bad luck and a couple of slip ups meant the score remained level. Fleurs came into the game bringing off a few fine saves from Ashley. Chad, Spenser and Harry R all playing welll especially going forward all had chances but were still unable to score. A Harry B thunderbolt was tipped over by the impressive Fleurs goalie before a Chad cross evaded all touches and sneaked into the bottom right corner. Fleurs then had two good chances deep deep in added time. At half time and 1 - 0 the game was nicely set. The changes at half term unsettled us and Fleurs out of the blocks flying. Momentum swung from one team to the other and there were chances galore. At times it seemed that neither team wanted to score! In the dying seconds a free kick was blocked by Aaron and the resulting clearance led to an East Lodge win. The match coud easily have been a 5 - 5 draw but in the end a 1 - 0 victory pushes the Hurricanes within 3 points of promotion. An exciting game to add to a season of exciting matches!
