Knights

Jaguars were away at Hemel Town Youth White, a team who are known for being both fast and physical, and are above Jaguars in the league table. The first half was fairly evenly matched with Jaguars enjoying some long periods of possession and dominance. Hemel’s attacking threat was from their super-fast striker who twice found himself one-on-one with the keeper and was twice beaten by the excellent Jaguars shot-stopper. Ten minutes into the second half, Jaguars found the breakthrough following some flowing passing that involved all three midfielders before unleashing the Jaguars striker who gained a yard on the Hemel defender and drilled the ball home from 10 metres. 5 minutes later, Hemel found a way through the resolute Jaguars defence to equalise. With 10 minutes remaining, Jaguars won a free-kick on the edge of the area. The free-kick beat the wall but was cleared off the line, only to see a Jaguars midfielder quickest to respond and drive the ball home from close range. And so the game ended as a 2-1 away victory to Jaguars. The whole team played superbly, with complete commitment, strong focus, and an excellent team spirit. Well done!
