Pudsey Bear the Force of Town Attack
After a lengthy lay off over December following a successful November the boys were keen to get going and the coaches asked for a strong start. They were not to be disappointed.
Straight from the kick off Rothwell looked to put Pudsey under pressure and the visiting defence had some early defending to do as Kaden Sharlotte played the ball long to Sam Mulvaney. The defence cleared the pass long up to Towns backline. Michael Throp controlled the ball well and played it down the line to Arnie Dooner who had made an intelligent run. Dooner released the ball to Liam King who cut a great cross back from the touchline towards the front post. The Pudsey defender got a foot to the cross to divert the ball out for a corner. Kai Wheeler stepped up to deliver another trademark swinging corner into the six yard box, again the defence managed to get to the ball first. As the Pudsey player tried to run the ball out of the penalty area, Mulvaney put a great challenge in and robbed the ball before releasing it back to Wheeler, whose first time cross was superbly executed. As the ball looped back into the area Dooner made a great run and delivered a terrific overhead volley that dropped over the keepers head into the goal for 1 – 0. Within a minute after the restart the ball was back in the opposition area and a superb cross delivered along the ground at pace by Dooner found Mulvaney who will have been disappointed to see his first time shot well stopped by the keeper. It was Dooner again two minutes later that had forced another corner attacking down the right hand side, and when Wheeler delivered another perfect cross it was Liam King on the back post who poked the ball home from close range to make it 2 – 0. After an explosive start by Rothwell Pudsey fought back well and started to apply their own pressure, although Jacob Murrays goal was rarely under serious threat with the back line winning every header and making some great tackles. Rothwell looked to pass the ball and kept possession really well. It was against the run of play when, on 20 minutes Pudsey scrambled the ball over the line to bring them back into the game at 2- 1.
It was a credit to Rothwell that they didn’t let the goal upset them and they continued to threaten. Pudsey continued to apply pressure but the defence held and a clearance by Oliver Walker was won by Sharlotte who headed the ball on and into the path Sam Pears who took one touch and hit a sweet volley from outside the area to restore the 2 goal gap.
At the interval the coaches told the players they wanted to see an early goal in the second half to ease the pressure. A goal did come inside the first 3 minutes but it was the away team celebrating. This seemed to rock Town who had been solid throughout the team and had kept a good shape during the first half. Suddenly Pudsey started to find space and Murray was suddenly under pressure. Despite the pressure Rothwell rallied and started to find the form that gave then the early lead. Sharlotte who had pushed into attack following the departure of Mulvaney, capitalised on some static defending and found himself free in the penalty area and calmy steered the ball around the keeper making it 4 – 2, despite strong claims for handball. It wasn’t long before Pudsey pulled another goal back in what was becoming a frustrating morning as Rothwell threatened, but failed to put the game beyond the visitors. At 4 – 3 Liam King had the ball in the back of the net but had been ruled offside before taking the shot. Harry Caton and Jacob Bues had been combining well all match and it was this combination that lead to the next goal as Bues collected the ball midway into the opposition half and held his pass until Caton made a run in behind the defenders. Bues split the defence with a lovely through ball which Caton collected and took into the penalty area before shooting low to the keepers left. Another two goal gap had opened up, but this time Pudsey had no answer and the final goal of the game came when Caton & Bues linked up again, this time it was Bues who had the telling touch making it 6-3. As the game drew to a close Sam Pears was unlucky not to make it 7 as Jacob Bues delivered a good cross from the left, but the keeper again made a good brave stop.
All of the boys displayed some great footballing ability and started to believe in themselves and each other, they also showed a great improvement in holding position and using space. Man of the match went to Arnie Dooner who not only scored what could be the goal of the season but was a constant threat down the right.
