Ridgeway Tigers U9s delivered a fantastic performance in the most recent away game against Abbey Youth Panthers U9s.

The players needed to get used to playing against a very tall and dominant opposition player in the middle who unsurprisingly opened the scoring with a great header from a corner.  However, the Tigers started to play with greater confidence and less fear – soon creating their own chances with some clinical early passes.

The team were very pleased for Zeeshan who ended up scoring his first hat-trick but special mentions for Thomas, Ahmed and Kieran who really took control of the middle of the pitch by breaking up opposition attacks and quickly turning them into a counter-attacking opportunities by finding the right forward pass.

Overall, very confident performance from all the kids and great to see them getting better each week by transferring what is being practiced in training into match play.
