Warley U15s - 3 vs Brighouse U15s - 7


FLYING START FOR BRIGHOUSE

Brighouse started the new season in impressive style with an emphatic win over a well organised Warley side. The opening exchanges were pretty even, with neither side creating too many clear cut chances.
Brighouse opened the scoring on fifteen minutes, when Jack Johnstone smashed home an unstoppable shot from all of 35 yards out, after good link up play by Daniel Addy and Jordan Fulton.
From this point Brighouse were in total control and extended there lead after good work by Adam Cronin and Matthew Wood set up Jason Taylor who finished well with a good shot.

Minutes later Brighouse went even further in front. A long ball from Jimmy Sweeney, put Fulton away down the right hand side, it looked like a lost cause as the keeper came to collect what looked like an easy pick up, but Fulton never gave up, and managed to win the ball, and finish well from an acute angle to make it 3-0.
Warley then had a good opportunity to get back in the game , but a good save from keeper Danny Jeffcock kept the three goal advantage.
Brighouse then went four up, Matthew Kilby playing a good ball into the path of Taylor who finished well with a well struck long range effort.

Goal number five followed early in the second half, when Fulton was once again on hand to finish a good with a close range shot that left the Warley keeper no chance.
Brighouse then seemed to think the job was finished and took their foot of the pedal. This allowed Warley to grow in confidence, and they struck back with three good goals without reply to make the score 5-3. However just as it looked like Warley were going to stage a miraculous comeback, Brighouse once again took control. Kieran Baker this time, finishing with a low shot after good work by Thomas Bedford.
Brighouse then killed the game completely, with goal number seven. Jordan Fulton completing his hat trick with a well timed effort.

This was a very good opening display from Brighouse, who now have a home game this coming Sunday against Thornhill at Hove Edge.
