Bromham u13
Pre season started in mid August and with a few hard weeks of fitness work we started our season with two enjoyable friendlies against fc Chippenham which resulted in 5-4 and 6-1 wins to Bromham.
Our opening league game was at home to Melksham Park.
After going a goal down early on the boys showed great character coming back to win 2-1.
Next game was away to Bath City.
Wheres Bromham ? I was asked by one of the Bath City parents!
Little village with plenty of character just like my team I replied.
Bromham started off on fire going into an early 2-0 lead.Bath responded just before half time to make it 2-1 at the break.The second half saw Bath lay siege to the Bromham goal ,Kai Nutland in the Bromham goal and great defending saw Bromham hang on for the victory.Great character!
Bemerton Heath Salisbury were the next visitors to the millenium field.
Bromham started slowly and went into half time 2-0 down.Goals from Fraser and a great strike from Charlie saw the score back to 2-2.Bromham were now pushing forward for the winner but a counter attack saw Bromham concede an own goal and a 3-2 defeat.Thats football!
How would the boys respond was going through my mind as we headed for our next fixture away to FC Calne?
No need for me to worry as the team put in a solid battling performance to emerge 3-0 winners.
In conclusion a really solid start to the season and our consolidation goal now seems the minimum of our expectations.
Well played boys.Special mentions to Alex Tyler and Lewis Read who each season up the anti to become key members of my squad.
