The most pleasing outcome of a very one sided game was that everyone continued to unselfishley pass the ball and keep playing football. A great `team` performance.

Linslade Galaxy Barca U16 14 v 0 Kingsbury Park U15

It was a windy, rainy day which was made worse due to the fact that Pitch 12 at Astral Park is pretty exposed.

With the wind against Barca in the first the half, the message before the start was to "play on the ground" and "to feet". This worked a treat and from the start Galaxy got most of the play.

Within 3 minutes, a deftly weighted square pass from Dami on the right found Harry Waple Moors, who weaved a path through defenders and slotted home. 1-0.

5 minutes later, Harry started a mazy run, leaving Kinsbury players in his wake eventually slotting the ball home bottom right to make the score 2-0.

Hats off to Kinsbury who played some neat interactive football from then on, but solid and regimented defending from Rhys Nicholas, Ben Cullen, Charlie Baines and Joe Gronnert prevented Nicholas Short in goal from seeing much of the ball.

On the half hour, Harry received the ball inside the box, laid back to Finn Norman who put the ball bottom right of the keeper.

Half-time came and the main talk was "discipline".

The wind was with Barca in the second half. Unfortunately for the away team, the ball didn’t go in the Linslade half from that point.

Daniel Barnes played in to Harry who passed in for his hatrick, Then Boris Tasev shot down the left wing and let fly with an unstopable shot bottom left. 5-0.

Harry shot a hard low pass across goal and Stanley Foulger came sliding in under presure to put the ball in at the near post. 6-0

With the rain now pelting down, it was hard to see who was playing where!

A Rhys Nicholas weighted through ball pass to Harry created Harrys 4th. 7-0

Harry again was provider, again low hard and square from the left and this time for Loui Major who thumped home. 8-0.

Harrys 5th and Louis 2nd made it 10-0. Then new signing Dan May, pelted down the left wing, cutting in, jinking passed defenders and slotting home for Barca's eleventh goal.

Thomas Short, who ran tirelesly through out the game, made a driving run through the middle, then released perfectly with a through ball to Rhys who wacked the ball home. 12-0.

Then it was Thomas who worked hard to find himself in the box to put home and Lewis Moffat finshed the romp with his first of the season. This made the final score 14-0.
