Match report : AFC Totton v Christchurch U18’s
16th November 2008

Result 1-3
scorers J Bernard, K White, L Horder.

In only our 2nd league game of the season Xchurch recorded a fine 3-1 victory after a goalless 1st half.
We started the game with a crisp flowing 5 man movement straight from the kick off which left Sam Griffin through on the keeper but his shot was safely gathered by the Stags keeper.
Totton then forced 2 good openings one of which resulted in an excellent save from the impressive Joe Prodomo.
In a game that was going from end to end we went very close to opening the scoring with good efforts from Lewis Horder & Elliot Peck who were giving Totton’s backline a torrid time with their pace and power.
Joe Proctor then tested the keeper with a rasping drive and a towering header in the 41st minute.

HT 0-0

We again opened the half with us pressing hard to open the scoring and our persistence paid off when after 3 goal bound shots had been blocked in quick succession we won a corner from which Jacques Bernard scored curling the ball into the net after Harry Jeffries distracted the keeper with a near post dart!
We then added a 2nd goal with Kingsley White finishing from 6 yards after a sweeping move which involved 7 players in the build up play.
Sensing a rout Lewis Horder then finished with aplomb after Ben Dickenson had hit the bar from 25 yards.
Totton however, to their credit refused to lie down and were rewarded with a goal from a good passage of play.
Both teams continued to play good attacking football without either side adding to the final score line.
