The Etzella Game

Nike Page

The competition had split at this point. The top 8 teams continued in the Premier cup. The next 6 in the Intermediate cup and the remaining 6, like ourselves, in the Challenge Cup. Our first Game of the day is against Etzella of Luxembourg.

Dont be fooled here, the team in yellow is us. This was more like it, pressure all the time on the Etzella goal. The star of the game though, i would say, is their keeper. Of all the players on show this player is the one most likely to represent his country in the future.

If you were to count the chances we had on goal, we could easily have won 20-0, it was that close, but for the Etzella keeper.

It is not a surprise that there are no pics of defenders here. Mandels header goes close this time.

A cross from a corner and Hatch's header goes close.

Close control from Hatch as he lays it back.

The Ezella player had headed the ball about 3 times at this point. Steph and Sturge admire his skill.

Steads clears the ball upfield.

Hatch is off on one of his runs with 2 defenders in close attendance. Hooray, our first win and 4-0 at that. Bring on the next team.
