Iver Raiders 1 Real Milan 0
A breakway goal 12 minutes from time, cooly finished by Iver striker Micah, was the difference between the two teams in hard fought Under 15 encounter. Last years League Cup Winners (they beat Beaconsfield SYCOB in the final) were made to work all the way by a very impressive Real Milan team.
Real, who started with striker Daryll Storey at centre back in Karim Usmanis absence, took 10 minutes to settle before finding their rhythm. Storey, Stewart Challis, Matty Page, Amadou Samba and 'keeper Lee Bennett were rarely troubled and coped well with the dangerous Iver attack with Omar always a threat.
On 30 minutes Real suffered a set back, when Bennett came off injured and top scorer Victor Ocansey took over in goal. Victor went on to perform superbly and was not at fault for the late goal. Milan got stronger as the game went on and following great work from Josh Lake and the ever impressive Scott lawrie, Danny O'Sullivan nearly put Real ahead with a fine shot that was turned onto the bar by the Iver 'keeper. An Ashley Kang curler whizzed just wide and a Renaldo rocket flew just over.
At the end, both managers agreed a draw was a fair result, with Real playing some great football against the more direct approach by Iver.
Highlights for Real were Jack Evans and Jordan Pritchard, who brought flair as well as 'bite' to the midfield. Danny O' Sullivan's wing play and crisp passing caused Iver problems all game. Ashley played very well when he came on and with a but of luck could have scored. Stewart Challis at left back was immense and Scott Lawrie is still 'on fire'. Renaldo again showed what a great passer he can be. and Matty, at right back was solid and reliable. Luke and Nysha did well, but need to capture their 'sharpness' as they missed a lot of pre-season training.Lee Bennett, probably the best goalie in the league, was superb before his injury and looks doubtful for sunday. Amadou was excellent as usual ands is a fine captain of the team.
But the best performance was by the awesome Daryll Storey, who had'nt played at centre back before, who inspired, and pushed his team mates to give more, and led by example. He thoughly deserved the Man of the Match award.
