It was Monday madness and raining goals again for our Year 8 wonder-kids as they ran away 6-4 winners against Valley Gardens yesterday afternoon! 

There were a few forced changes to our lineup, as Ethan S and Isaac V both returned... but there were no changes to the fight and character which I saw in our last fixture vs Burnside. 

We came flying out the traps, as Luke D put us ahead after 5 minutes with a cool finish. Like many times this season we were pegged back quickly as Valley responded minutes later with their own equaliser. However, straight from our restarting kick off - a Jack D wallop went right over Valleys back line and landed right into the path of the rushing Luke D to chip home his second of the game. An amazing moment as we went in at half time 2-1 ahead. 

We carried on our scoring run in the second half - with some absolute stunners may I add..... Luke D and Jack D both scored absolute worldies! A joy to watch. Luke D carried on his mind-blowing goalscoring form notching another couple. We went into the last ten minutes holding a narrow 5-4 lead and there were some nail biting moments, but our back line of Evie C and Jaxson K alongside Harvey L in goal, stayed strong. A last chance fell to Declan W and he finished well to give us the three points our performance definitely deserved. 

A special mention goes out to Mr 'Do It All' Jack D - who was highlighted by Valley's teaching staff as having a great sportsman-like attitude on the pitch, alongside tremendous amounts of quality. A well deserved player of the match. Well done to you Jack, a credit to LHS.
