Alexandra Park North v Harvesters Leopards U8s

The Leopards took on Alexandra Park under the shadow of All Pally on a brisk but sunny morning.

During an even first half Ahaan Dean was the Leopards main threat going forward, showing excellent close control and earning the boys opening goal. Sharp passing and good movement was to the fore from both sides with Josh Allen kept busy in the away team's goal.

Marcel Lukasik pushed up front for the 2nd period and combined well with Archie Young who saw a crashing drive hit the post and another effort slip just wide. The Leopards began to tire toward the end of the match but Josh Allen battled hard and was unlucky not to score with a couple of efforts and slalom runs.

Some very encouraging passing football from the Leopards at times - with areas for improvement in defending for the coming weeks.
