This morning saw Halesowen Town visit Carter Park for a friendly against the U13's in what was to be a thrilling and dominant performance.

Rushall started at kick off and within 15 seconds Maurice had the ball in the back of the net to kick start the game in favour of Rushall. Sticking to our principles of play we were able to see a second and a third goal follow suit within just a few minutes apart - this time by our latest signing, Karam.

Winning our individual battles across the pitch meant that we were always dominating the play and comfortable enough to recycle the ball where necessary to switch the play or give Aaron the opportunity to pin point his next pass.

Our attacking players consisting of Karam, Maurice, Joshua, Geran and Obrian worked well together, offering wave after wave of attacking play - peppering the opposition goal and being enough of a threat that the opposition had to keep switching different formations to try and cope.

Our Midfield consisting of Immy and Ellis (a fantastic pairing) offered both defensive support and creation of attacking opportunities with three shots from Ellis narrowly missing their target and a superb goal from Immy!

Defensively we were solid, limiting the opposition to just a handful of opportunities that were won back deeper than we would have preferred and just one being successful in scoring Halesowens only goal. However their togetherness, communication aswell as their overlapping runs to support the attack was incredible!

In summary, twelve goals were scored from open play by our attacking players. One goal was scored by Immy who was sat in Midfield and one goal scored by our defender Erin who took a wonderful free kick that looped over the keepers head.

Fantastic performance by a team consisting of five new players and having Rio, Riley, Zak and Zac away.
