Under 10 Match Reports

Penrith deserved the win as they took their chances and were solid in defence, with player of match Poppy Scholefield and Jacob Matthews scoring the goals.

Cockermouth went close in the first half when Adam Ashfield and Max Cochrane played a quick short corner which led to Adam firing a left foot shoot just wide.

Penrith defended well, making some great blocks and their quick counter attacks often caught Cockermouth short in defence, leaving Emily Carruthers to keep the score down with some great saves.

Good effort by the team and the match was played in good spirit.

Team: Emily Carruthers, Adam Ashfield, Alex Parr, Luke Harrison, Harry Richardson, Peter Rawlinson, Max Cochrane, Zack Bancroft, Evan Brelsford.

Great game and well done to all players who braved the snow, sleet, hail, wind and rain! Cockermouth went into an early lead when Harry finished a great run down the left with a cross for Max to arive late into trhe box and sidefoot home his first goal this season.

The second goal quickly followed when Evan picked the ball up on the left and wriggled through the Penrith defence before blasting the ball past the goalkeeper.

Amazing Comeback from the under tens, after going two 2-0 behind in the first half playing against a strong wind the team rallied at half time.

Penrith deserved their lead with a great long range effort and a goal directfrom a corner which zipped low through the crowded area into the back of the net. Penrith were a strong side and we hung on at times to keep it down to 2-0, the crossbar saving us on one occasion.

Instead of trying to pepper the Penrith goal with the wind behind us in the second half with long range efforts we played some great counter attacking football, the first goal back

Squad: Owain Reed, Tom McFadyen, Alex Parr, Sam Wedgwood, Jack Lewis, Tom Wilson, James Trafford, Evan Brelsford.

The weather was poor but the performance, commitment and attitude of the squad was excellent.

We were drawn in a very tough group opening against the previous years winners Furness Cavaliers.After a first minute goal conceded from an ufortunate free kick we fought back and earned a deserved 1-1 draw thanks to Sam diverting a log range shot by James into the oppositions net. fantastic commitment shown by the boys to fight back.

Second game against Maryport Monsters saw us draw 1-1
