Aldershot Town U11's 8 AFC Wimbledon Colts 2

Last updated : 18 October 2009 By Mike Wray
The Shots first league game of the season saw them pitted against AFC Wimbledon Colts.

After a slow start the boys started to play a lot better once they began to use the width of the pitch.

Some tidy finishing from George Mann and 2 expertly taken goals from Danny Thompson saw them 3-0 up at the break.

This quickly became 5 after a couple of minutes of the second half – another for George and a beautifully flighted free-kick from Toby Elstow.

From this point, however, Wimbledon picked their game up and – from looking comfortable – the Shots spent as much time having to defend as they did attack.

The remainder of the game saw the teams trading goals at regular intervals, with further strikes from Ben House, Tom Collman & Dan Bennett making the final score 8-2.

Lots of things to take from the game but all-in-all, a terrific start to the season. Well done lads!
