Friendly, Coach Road, Sunday October 11
Newton Town U8...1
Buckland Athletic U8...7
Buckland came from behind to take the honours in an entertaining friendly at Coach Road.
Town took the lead with a well-worked goal that gave goalkeeper Evan no chance and had chances to increase their advantage. Buckland were being penned in their own half and only a fine stop from Evan, rushing off his line, and Harry's brave block kept the visitors in touch.
The equaliser finally came from Georgia with a long-range strike which foxed the Town keeper and went in off a post.
Once on level terms, Buckland took control of the game. Josh was desperately unlucky not to give his side the lead, being denied on three times in as many minutes.
The breakthrough came from a free-kick when Georgia was brought down on the edge of the box. Mason fired in a thunderbolt which went over the wall, past the keeper and into the roof of the net for another spectacular goal.
Beck made it 3-1 with another great finish into the top corner which gave the Town glovesman no chance.
Town were still posing a threat but Declan and Jamie were both in great form at the back, and Buckland went further in front when Georgia bagged her second of the day with a fabulous curling right-foot effort.
With Brad tackling hard in midfield and Adam looking confident between the posts after taking over goalkeeping duties, Buckland stretched their lead through Josh after a sumptious passing move.
Joey brought the ball out of defence and found Beck, who played the ball out to Mason on the right wing. Mason drove in a cross to the far post where Josh timed his run to perfection to steer the ball home.
Captain for the day Harry made it 6-1 with a fine solo effort, drifting infield from the right before drilling a low, hard left-foot effort past the Town keeper, and Beck completed the scoring when he seized on a rebound from Harry's shot and rifled the ball into the roof of the net to make the final score 7-1.

BUCKLAND ATHLETIC v WBB
Pioneer League U8 Rooney
Sunday October 4, 2009
Buckland...4 WBB...2
Buckland maintained their unbeaten start to the league season with a deserved win over WBB at Homers Heath.
With Mason and Georgia unavailable, Adam and Josh came into the squad to make their first league appearances.
Buckland took an early lead when Joey latched on to Harry's pass to find the corner of the net with the outside of his right foot, but Wattsy's were on level terms soon afterwards.
Adam restored Buckland's lead after the break, creating an opening for himself before drilling home to mark his debut in style.
WBB levelled again from a free-kick, then weathered Buckland's onslaught for much of the second half. The visitors even had a couple of chances on the break but goalkeeper Evan made two smart saves and rock-solid defensive duo Jamie and Declan kept a lid on any danger.
Beck almost restored the lead after a great run and shot from the right flank, and the deadlock was broken when Harry latched onto a loose ball to slam a scorcher into the top corner to put Buckland 3-2 in front.
Buckland added a deserved fourth when Harry's through-ball split the defence and substitute Josh finished in style to cap an impressive debut.
Buckland goals: Joey, Adam, Harry, Josh
