Wanstead vs. Rochford Under 7s, 2nd October 2011

The teams had met before at the Upminster festival last season, where Wansted were the winners and Rochford the runners up. Having watched Wansted play Thurrock, we knew we were up against a good team, and from the start they gave us a run for our money. Despite good defence and some great passing, we headed into half time 4-2 down.

However, the Rochford boys went back on the field determined and Wansted had met their match. With some great displays of team work, Rochford managed to first level the field and then beat their opponents 5-4.

What a brilliant start to the season!
