U13B triumph over Fulham Boys in tight clash

By Gabriel Fouche

Hampton’s U13B team beat Fulham Boys 1-0 on Monday, thanks to a screamer from Shivam Handa.

Hampton started the game positively, which lead to Shivam smashing the ball into the top left corner of the goal, kickstarting the game. 

Throughout the first half, a number of shots sailed over the crossbar as both sides launched attack after attack.

At half-time, Mr Schurch’s team talk encouraged the team to play in a more disciplined way.

Inspired by this, the Hampton team improved their performance.  One highlight was Ishan Patel hitting the post three times, outwitting Fulham’s lanky centre backs. 

We ended the game with the usual ‘hip hip hoorays’ and quickly ran off to catch our buses home.
