Our Garforth league team started their season off away at Hunslet and after a tight opening were in front inside the first 15 minutes. A ball played in behind the Hunslet defence was chased down by Liam King who beat the on coming keeper to it and managed to steer it around him to roll it into the net. Hunslet pressed and were stronger in midfield. The Rothwell defence were under pressure but were coping well Kai Wheeler impressing and Harrison Jones in great form claiming the ball well on a number of occasions in the goal. The equaliser from Hunslet came from a long ball after a throw in deep in their own half. As halftime approached Rothwell were awarded a free kick 5 yards out of the Hunslet area. Liam stepped up and delivered a great shot that looked like a goal until the Hunslet keeper brilliantly turned away.
The second half started in the same way with Hunslet holding possession for longer and despite a number of good stops from Harrison Hunslet got 2 more goals making it 3 - 1. Rothwell started to apply more pressure and a good bursting run from Sam Pears caused panic in the Hunslet defence. Kaden Sharlotte battled well in the midfield and won the ball and released Liam king on the left hand side. A great first time ball from Liam switched the play to Sam Mulvaney deep on the right who controlled well and delivered an excellent low cross that was met by Liam, who had continued his run, and fired into the goal. At 3 -2 and with less than 5 minutes left Rothwells hope of a late equaliser were dashed when a long clearence from Hunslet changed defence into attack and the Rothwell defence were beaten making the final score 4 - 2.
Man of the Match goes to Kai Wheeler for his performance at left back.
