Fairley House 0 v 1 PPS

On Thursday 4th May PPS made their way to Waterloo to take on Fairley House school in a very competitive game of football. In the previous fixture the result was 0-0 in a tight encounter and in the early stages of this match it was clear PPS would have to be on top of their game to come away with a result. Both teams had spells of possession in the early stages without making any clear cut chances. Goalkeeper Sam was called into action and made a couple of good saves as Fairley were the first team to get shots on target but mid-way through the first half Miles scored a superb goal. Ethan received the ball in midfield and played an excellent well weighted pass for Miles to burst on to, he took one touch and ruthlessly powered his effort into the roof of the net.
PPS grew in confidence and started to dominate possession, particularly in Fairley’s half. The boys were stringing together lovely passing moves of 5 – 8 passes and were making Fairley House work very hard in defence, however the score remained 1-0 at half time.
In the second half PPS got off to a positive start but were reminded Fairley were still dangerous and again Sam made a brilliant save to keep the score at 1-0. PPS were patient on the ball against a solid Fairley defence; the boys were limited to long range efforts for a period which did come close to hitting the target on a couple of occasions. It was a competitive half; PPS were the better side but just could not find a second goal and the score remained 1-0 to PPS!
This was a positive performance for our u15’s. The passing at times was brilliant to watch and it would be great to see PPS play football like this more consistently. Sam has an excellent game as goalkeeper making a few important saves. Ethan, as always, was a composed figure in centre midfield who got an excellent assist and Felix won tackle after tackle at right back. Player of the match goes to Miles who was a constant threat with his footwork and pace and scored a brilliant goal!
Well done boys!
