December – Y5/6 Boys’ Football Selby District Final
Barkston Ash 3 – 1 Kellington
Barkston Ash boys’ football team are Selby District champions! Despite very challenging conditions (including a very boggy playing surface!), the team triumphed by three goals to one. In a first half that Barkston shaded, Todd caused the Kellington defence lots of problems and Edward had a number of good opportunities that narrowly missed the target. Oliver and Jayden were protecting the Barkston goal well and ensuring William had no clear shots to save. Barkston started the second half well and forced a number of good saves from the Kellington goalkeeper. With just seven minutes to go though, Kellington broke well and finished into the bottom corner giving William no chance. Just three minutes later though, Barkston equalised. A good ball through from Matthew set Todd racing clear. He skillfully took the ball past the keeper and finished well from a tight angle. Two minutes later more good play from Todd forced an own goal to give Barkston the lead. A good curling finish from Lennon clinched the win and the trophy! Well done to the whole team who will now represent the district in the North Yorkshire finals in January. The man of the match was Todd who was led the line extremely well and scored the crucial equaliser.
